Besides the frequency of releases, anyone else ever notice how silent RDS
is on the subject when this is brought up? I'm guessing Rob doesn't
get involved in these discussions because whatever his reasoning is for
frequency/features of new releases someone won't like it.
Rob, I know you're reading this...
Like Derek, I too love the language and will continue to use Euphoria.
That being said, there are several features that I would like to see in
the language but have little hope that they will ever exist... threads
... ability to create a .dll/.so without translating/compiling ... better
exception handling (though this might improve with the next release).
But hey, let's face it. NO language is ever without it's "wish list".
