Ok, how about if I instead say "Why should I go to the trouble to write all
that, when
every other language I have ever used has that built in?"  I even had an
assembler once
that had structures!.  While it may indeed be possible to write your own
Euphoria functions
to emulate almost anything any other language has, that's like saying,
"sure, this car has no
motor, but you can push it anywhere you like".  Sorry, I'm not buying it.
