I think that we should start a Euphoria war! We'll have the GOTO faction vs. the 'not for a million dollars' camp. Then we'll come up with some goto-version vs. no-goto-version coding competitions and see which is faster and/or easier to follow. The Euphorialimpics! Sound like fun? -- Brian PS - I know the latter will probably lose the obfuscated coding competition but I'm willing to live with that.
