Euphoria is interpreted, it reads your code and "compile" it into an
internal
format... I said "compile", because it doesn't generate any machine code
as
output, but a code for the Euphoria virtual machine (the interpreter).
I think that some optimization could be get from creating "pre-compiled"
files... but as Euphoria is so fast at pre-compilation it wouldn't make
any big difference (10.000 lines of code per second in a 486, that's
what
RDS says). I think "shroud" and "bind" do something like that, they
change
all your statements into one-byte code.
