I haven't really followed this thread to well ... but (famous last
words) ...
The "Beginners Guide To Euphoria" is the only documentation I have seen
for Euphoria which helps a non programmer learn how to program.
(It's obviously out of date and I personally don't like the format)
Because of this I don't beleive Euphoria is the best choice of languages
for a complete newbie to learn.
I'd guess that almost everyone who programs in Euphoria probably
programmed in at least one and possibly many languages previously.
Some people can probably pick up a reference manual (or short intro) to
a "programming language" and start "figuring out" what to do. I'd be
very surprised if this was the best introduction to programming though.
