Chris,
I'm well aware of your position towards Euphoria and RDS. I'm very suprized that
you even decided to participate on this mailing list again after your furious
exit.
I think we all know that Robert's reason behind doing this was to speed up
development and encourage people to implement exciting new features in his
official language. I think Robert considers forking and fragementation an ugly
side-effect of such a move but confident that his version will remain dominate. I
am, however, not so confident that he'd be right once all our influential coders
leave to launch their own projects.
Regards,
Vincent
