Re: Euphoria questions
Dear Mr. Euphoria Programming for MS-DOS, not forgetting a reply for your
letter...

Really? Wouldn't you think the program would be unreasonably large???
I've seen a bound Eu program and it's way big because the source code
is inside. Yes, it's shrouded. But with any file viewer I can see the
source code clearly, giving me up the idea about the program flow,
etc.
Encrpyting? Come on, Eu doesn't use PGP, one decryptor and any Eu
program vulnerable.
I think this is different to Java where you can't see the source at
all. Almost like machine code. Even VB (hey, it's interpreted, too!)

slower run-time. Most (99%) of me wants faster run-time.
I wonder if Eu can be duo, both compiled and interpreted. (!!!!)
>>BTW why did RDS choose interpreted thing?

So? No one?

You know.... the standard stuff we really got used to in C++....
Mainly for code optimizing anyway.
BTW does using "machine code" actually make Eu programs faster? Doing
it means there still be interpreter which read the "machine code" then
interpret then do it. One instruction could be numerous instructions
with that!

I'm not that happy. I think it's very convenient and even everything
around us is object-oriented. Kill the mouse. Catch the book. etc.
I wonder why they don't called SOP (Subject-Oriented Programming 
or maybe Predicate-Oriented Programming... *LOL*
Why RDS decided not to implement OOP? Did they think it's just
unnecessary or...... insufficient resources?
From time to time.... we're going to expect many lang enhancements.
Like Pascal which had evolved (caused by Borland's hands) to the great
ObjectPascal now used by Delphi, etc.
Who would do and approve such changes in Eu? RDS?

Hmm... I never used any custom types in Eu...
Reply it, type anything you want!
