>>Can an Euphoria program run on an 8 bit CPU ?!

Sure, if someone compiles a GB-version of Euphoria.
Though I don't think that'll happend.

Why ?
* GB can't do floating-point math. Sure, anything can be done with
   some work-arounds and approximisations. But on a GB? at acceptable
   speeds?  me thinks not..
* GB has very little RAM.
* GB is simply too slow for interpreted languages. I mean, it runs
   at what, 3MHz?

I know that there's a free C-compiler for the GB called lcc. But to be able
to compile Euphoria with it, Rob would have to make some big changes and to
be honest, I don't belive he thinks it's worth it..
