Newbie: congratulations! (and a request)
I discovered Euphoria some days ago, and I am really impressed.
Congratulations to the programmers for such a nice language (and thank
you for being so present in this list!). I am one of the many users
disappointed by the death of Rapid-Q (a dialect of Basic, whose
development has been discontinued), and I find in Euphoria all I had and
much more.
I have only one request: the standard release of Euphoria for Windows
*should* somehow include Win32Lib, IDE and *above all* eutypes.zip.
(Still better, the installation program for Win could automatically
update the registry.) I understand that those are 3d-party extensions,
but perhaps a *very* evident link to those files in the download page
would be much welcomed by beginners, who often do not know how
manually update file associations, and could conclude that Euphoria is
"console based" without even browsing the (excellent!) archive and
finding there the (excellent!) graphic libraries and IDE. Also the
QBasic-to-Euphoria translator (even if incomplete) is worth being put in
the foreground, I think (I could tranform a rather complex utility
without *any* modification).
Best regards!
