Dear EU users,

I am not very new list's correspondent and it is strange enough
for me to read the things I can read here periodically.

Say, there were no translators  Euphoria to C, but there was cry
of some people about, so to say, "low" speed Euphoria.

Now we can just tranclate/compile and speed up our old programs
to compiled C from the best in the World interpreted speed.

But now we have just the same thing -- cry about too high
speed of Euphoria and Rob must prove to some people, 
to programmers, why the speed is just a very good thing
in the computer world.

If you do not want high speed programs, just do not program 
in Euphoria.

You want Python ?

What a problem ?  Delete EUPHORIA directory from HD,
install Python, write programs in Python.

You want Java ?

What a problem ? Delete EUPHORIA directory from HD,
install Java, write programs in Java.

You want Perl ?

What a problem ? Delete EUPHORIA directory from HD,
install Perl, write programs in Perl.

You want Lua ? ...  Hmmm ...

What a problem ? Delete EUPHORIA directory from HD,
install Lua, write programs in Lua.

You want APL ? ...  Hmmm ...

What a problem ? Delete EUPHORIA directory from HD,
install APL, write programs in APL.

You want Ruby ? ... Hmmm ...

What a problem ? Delete EUPHORIA directory from HD,
install Ruby, write programs in Ruby.

You want ... What do you want ?  I can not understand ...

Hey, it seems to be, you want famous and rich Rob, and famous
and rich youself  for  all  your  work  about  Euphoria  ...

But with PD full featured Euphoria Rob may not become
famous and rich as Bill of MS.

So my recipe is :

1. No any Euphoria PD packages.
2. Price UP to $1000 for *1 floppy disk*.
3. No any downloads of free software from RDS.

BUT there is one great BUT ...

Speed of  Euphoria -- gives us the cycles of our CPUs,  
just our time,  just our life,  just our main property.

You want give away your life to Python, Perl, Java ... Yes ?

Are you crazy ?  No ?

Why,  No  ? 

Well. 

BUT there is one additional BUT ...

If someone think Euphoria is not popular, this problem is not
an Euphoria's problem or an Euphoria programmer's problem.

This problem is just that someone's problem.

If your train is ran away from you then this is your problem, 
not train's problem.

Is it clear for Euphoria community ?

Just some thoughts.
