Just to share my experience:
Since 3 years ago I used euphoria for automated registration in my
website. Then 4 months ago I tried to learn PHP and made database+form
processing enabled website in less than a week.
Then I realized that I could have tried using php in my old website
and I made the same program in php in 115 lines instead of 290 lines
when it was written in Eu.
Unless Eu has a library that is reliable and simple to use for
- database (real database, not EDB that is easily corrupted)
- form processing (not just post and get but also file uploads)
- html/sql string function (add entities/backslashes etc),
IMO, Eu is not suitable for real web applications.
But yes, php function names are confusing and you will be tired of
typing '$' sign.
