Hi Linus.  Christopher Bouzy seems to be the only one who has made a profitable
Eu app.  Back in 1996 a guy named Michael Packard was selling a bunch of arcade
games written with Euphoria, but I don't think he made much money(although they
were great games).  He left in disgust because of the rather communistic nature
of some of the Eu users.  Apparently they were in a Euphoria brought on by
something other than the language Euphoria. 
Not many other large programs are around because hardly anyone knows about
Euphoria and most of the ones that do see it as a toy.  Looking at the reviews on
download.com show that people think it's an outdated language as well.  You can't
really compare C# and Eu well because one is OOP, runs on a VM on Windows only
using the .Net system, and the other is procedure, interpreted, and runs on Dos,
Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD.  Nobody has written a real killer app yet, but it'll
happen soon, right everybody?
