Several issues (such as forward referencing, 'continue' keyword and others) can't be addressed by a Standard Library. > I will switch to PureBasic and Java, if Euphoria v3.0 doesn't > satisfy me. So best of luck to Robert Craig and Junko C. Miura. Imagine this: In ten years or so, an enthusiastic newbie (I think most of us have been enthusiasic when we were new to Euphoria.) posts on EUforum: "Hi there, I'm new to Euphoria. In general I like the language, but I'm missing a 'continue' keyword." Who of us would want to go through that discussion the next ten yars? Regards, Juergen
