Have you done any testing against other languages using these benchmarks? Can
you send these to the shootout and have them rank Euphoria among the other
languages? Or do they only accept fully open-source languages? Euphoria is
partially open-source, does that count any?

I'm guessing it would rank pretty high (so long the majority of the benchamrk
programs function). It would be interesting to see exactly how well Euphoria
compares to C, C++, C#, D, and Java.

You should ask and see if they will accept your entry.
