Euphoria is sometimes 100 times slower than C!
Even with the translator, it's slower than hand-coded
C.
And writing a 3D game?

Just lemme ask you something.
How many 3D games did you see written in Euphoria?
Exactly.

Don't even think about writing a 3D game in Euphoria.
Even if you call C libraries like Direct X, your code 
for collision detection, backface culling, hidden
polygon removal, lighting, texture managing,
networking, sound streaming, event handling, back
buffering, game logic, etc. are all gonna have to be
coded in Euphoria, resulting in a 3D game that runs at
2Fps on an Athlon with a GeForce 2.

Imagine writing Quake III in QBasic, that's about the
same as writing Quake III in Euphoria.
