No way. Compare it with Python, for example. Python was invented in 1990. Now 
there are many books, and tens (or hundreds) of thousands of users, including 
some significant projects at Google, Industrial Light+Magic, Four11, NASA.....

Euphoria isn't even in the running. 

I am not a Python fan, I don't even like the language very much, 
but the truth is the truth.
