Thanks to prolonged statistical and marketing-oriented
analysis (mommy! can I have a cookie? i did poopoo on
the coffee table!), I have come to the conclusion that
the following enhancements are the top-5 ones that
should be implemented, Nr. 1 being the most important
one.

5. An automatic C-to-Eu and Eu-to-C mapping for
function calls.
4. DLL compilation
3. Increased runtime execution speeds
2. Dynamic Interpretation
1. A way to port Euphoria programs to other currently
not supported platforms, and to make enhancements to
Euphoria ourselves without Rob's involvement.

However, if Rob implements Nr. 1, he doesn't have to
implement Nrs 5, 4, 3 and 2, since we can do it
ourselves.

So the easiest thing to do, if I were Rob atleast,
would be to choose from one of the followng
sollutions;

1. Add a Euphoria macro/scripting language to the
interpreter and translator, wich allows us to add
features not supported by RDS.
2. Compile a Portable Euphoria package containing only
the interpreter and very basic, portable runtime
routines, such as cos(), append(), etc. containing
only ANSI C code, wich we can extend, optimize, embed
and port to other platforms.
3. Add a way to port the source code produced by the
translator to other platforms.

He can pick one of these, or do both 2. and 3.

It's better that he does one of these, and then
nothing else, instead of just adding
"prompt_name_age_location_sex()" or some shit like
that to the interpreter and call it "Euphoria 2.3" or
some shit like that.
Then next year he adds "poke8()" and calls it
"Euphoria  2.4".
(note: I'm being sarcastic)

Wich one would you like to see the most?
Realy?
