I'd considered doing it, but then I didn't.  I think it would be a great 
idea, though.

One problem with actually submitting to the site, though, is that the 
require the language to be open-source.  Now Euphoria is quasi-open 
source so I don't know how that would work.  You could submit the PD 
version of the language compiled with GCC but then the performance would 
be 8-10x slower.

I'm perpetually lazy, so I haven't done it, but I think for Euphoria it 
would be worthwhile to write the benchmarks and then compare 2.4 to 2.5 
to 2.5 double-interpreted and then use C or D as the baseline to compare 
against.

I noticed that D compares very favorably with other languages and I 
think all of the benchmarks are complete.
