Hi
I'll stick with Euphoria, because I love the language, its simplicity, ease
of use, and speed for my needs. If I want to write fast FPS shooters, I'm
sure that another language would be more suited anyway - I don't btw.
But - I'll bet that there are a fair few poeple out there who say that Java
is faster, and who cares if it cheats - its the end results that matter, not
the tool that get the end results.
eg a beautiful spanner undoes a nut, but a really ugly rusty one does it 3
times faster - which one would you choose.
Bottom line - if you need to cheat to make eu faster, then cheat.
