How big Euphoria is?
If C++ was the statue of liberty, Euphoria would be
an atom from a pebble in the concrete.

DOOM III?
HAHAHAHA!!!
Don't make me laugh..
Take a look at the Euphoria archive.
See anything even remotely close to Mario Brothers?
Man, and I'm not lying here, you couldn't even rewrite Wolfenstein 3D in
Euphoria, because it'd run too slow!
Euphoria can't even use Direct X! It takes some incomplete
wrappers and crap to do it, wich slows it down even more.

If you wanna write yourself a toy program such as a little
database or a word processor, Euphoria can do the job.
Anything more, and you'd have yourself a major speed issue.
