Touche' or is that touchy, I wouldn't bother to suggest/criticize/bother if I did not believe all the things that you have noted about Euphoria. It is the best looking language that I have seen in thirty-three years of looking at different languages. And if those darn virus-protection types( whom I suspect of at least distributing if not actually writing some viruses) would like to give me a refund, I'll take it Now when you get around to it, since I have indirectly taken some potshots at the type of coding that you do(and I freely admit that you are a much better coder than I have ever been), why don't you take a shot at some of the other points that I so humbly tried to make. What I was trying to say was that the type of coding that you do belongs exactly where it normally is, hidden behind the routines of a library. I just wish the libraries were more generally and less particularly aimed. Meaning, that they could be used in any environment with suitable adjustments...DOS, Windows, Linux,& etc. Everett L.(Rett) Williams rett at gvtc.com On Wed, 3 Nov 1999 19:21:21 -0600, Boehme, Gabriel <gboehme at POSTOFFICE.MUSICLAND.COM> wrote: >Everett Williams wrote: > >>[...] Euphoria, as most interpreter type languages, is by it's nature >>viruslike in behavior [...] > >You have to admit, though, that Euphoria has better run-time error checking, >more powerful type checking, and is easier to write in than most other >viruses. > >Additionally, the only programs on my disk which have been infected with it >are -- you guessed it -- the Euphoria programs; and they were deliberately >written that way to begin with! > >So this is "viruslike behavior?"
