I consider it a new Euphoric language. There will be no attempt at backward compatibiltity with Eu itself or even the Method Eu library. What I am envisioning is a language which is OOP from the ground up but has much of the essential power and flavor of Eu. The suggestion of Mantra is a very good one but I googled it and found the name already taken. For the moment, I am going with the name Methodica: this is inspired by Method Euphoria which is the primary inspiration for the language (with important secondary influences from Ruby and Eiffel).
