If I pay for the source code, so that I can affect change to the
euphoria language, I won't be sharing my improvements for free.
ESPECIALLY with RDS, who was so bold as to CHARGE me to try and help
them in the first place.
That is not attitude to make. "Everyone should just buy a copy of the
source and make their own changes."
No way, that doesn't jive with me. I'm not interested in wasting money
on the source code for an interpreter.
Besides people have tried that. Rob is just as stubborn. And the
community won't even give those alternates a chances, mainly because the
mod versions are crippled. As in no registered features.
