Re: Project---"Real" (with 4yr degree and works as one) computer
I believe I speak for most, if not all, of the list when I respond
to this message in this manner. I believe all of us, on THIS list,
program in Euphoria by choice. Most of us do it only as a hobbie.
In other words, We simply enjoy the godlike feeling of creating our
own little "Frankensteins". I dare say that, Many of us DON'T have
jobs as computer programmers. Several of us are still attending
school. Some of us college, others high school, OR something of the
like. Many of us may work as fast food servers, car mechanics, or
many other types of General Labor.
In short, This means that unions, fringe benefits, health benefits,
401K and other job related circumstances don't apply to most of us.
Euphoria isn't currently used in a mass scale for bussiness
applications like COBOL, C, C++, PASCAL, FORTRAN, and many other
languages. Euphoria is finding its niche but it currently doesn't
seem to be in the bussiness arena like ther previously mentioned
languages.
Sincerely and Thoughtfully, Lucius L. Hilley III
