No I don't mind at all. First, and this is most
important, it's financially more beneficial for me to
market my PHP skills than it is to market my EU
skills. http://www.techport80.com was developed to
demonstrate my PHP skills. Fortunately for me, I'm
usually to busy to finish the site. :)
There are technical reasons I don't use EU on any of
my public web sites. First, when you run EU on Linux,
you need to set at least 2 environment vars... EUDIR,
and TERM. My hosting company doesn't allow me to set
environment variables. Even if I wanted to avoid
setting the EUDIR, the TERM variable is a must.=20
Finally, my hosting company will charge me more money
monthly to install and configure EU. I'm just not
willing to pay a monthly fee to demonstrate skills in
a language that is currently flying below the radar.
All that said, I've been a long time fan of EU. I've
attempted to contribute in other ways. At one time I
had a large section of my web site dedicated as a
Euphoria portal. I wrote applications such as a code
bank and a tutorial library for the community to add
to and enjoy. On my site I had a JavaScript live chat
client that we could have used without plug-ins such
as Java or Flash. I've written/published some EU
tutorials on subjects such as CGI, GTK, and EU getting
started guide. I wrote a CGI content management
system in EU that uses euSQLite for it's database and
my own CGI lib. It supports themes / templates at the
moment and renders quite quickly.=20
Most of that is gone now as there was 0 community
interest at the time. The lack of visitors and
contributors was very disappointing and discouraging.
