Do you think that Eu is far enough along in the development process, though?
From browsing through this list for some time
now, I have gathered that there are still a few features missing that make the
language a little less 'competitive' than a
few other more established language; of course, there are numerous advantages as
well. The language is functional, but is it
developed enough to catch the attention of the programming community as a whole?

I can assure you that is!

That's the idea. You lead many fellows to Rob's door and Rob will share part of
his gains with you. Nothing is simpler. Then another guy/girl may consider
teach Euphoria other way and them we'll have a second book, and another, and
maybe O'Reilly can get interest to publish something or maybe they are just
tired of Perl... A book is also easier to translate into other languages as the
difficult part is to show the idea, the core meaning. The rest you get from
language reference. That's how things happens, but needs a first pebble at the
pond to make waves!
