There is, but Euphoria isn't a good language for obfuscating code.
Besides, Perl programs win every time, without even trying to obfuscate.
Better would be for someone (several of us, actually) to submit Euphoria
versions of the Great Computer Shootout tests:

Good point. The application would have to be chosen carefully, however.
Something that didn't need threads, and that didn't need internet
connectivity,
and that didn't need to share data with other Windows programs, for example.

So what would that high-end commercial application be? Any suggestions?
