It's not so much what Euphoria can't do - you can do almost anything with
enough work. The same statement applies to assembler, or C, or whatever.
It does lack a straightforward way to do many of the things that programmers
take for granted. Those things have been discussed ad infinitum on this list,
(look thru the archives) and Rob is adamant that he isn't ever going to add
them.
I've supported and even promoted Euphoria for a long time, but I can't do so
any longer. Any programmer with 6 months' experience can find something to
laugh about in Euphoria. I prefer a slower language which is taken seriously.
