Chris:

Have you thought about imbedding Lua? That's exactly what it was designed
for,
and Lua looks so much like euphoria it's spooky. Even down to the --
comments.
Example follows:

--------------------------------
-- 99 bottles of beer ~ Lua 4.0
--------------------------------
    function bottle(n)
       if     n==0 then return 'no more bottles'
       elseif n==1 then return '1 bottle'
       else  return n..' bottles'
       end
    end

    n=99
    while (n > 0) do
       print (bottle(n)..' of beer on the wall,')
       print (bottle(n)..' of beer.\nTake one down,\npass it around,')
       n = n - 1
       print (bottle(n)..' of beer on the wall.\n')
    end
