Re: Those of us who are C'ly challenged :>
I've NEVER found Euphoria to be easier than C! I just haven't. The reason is
that Euphoria wasn't designed to be structured (at least, I think so). C
gets the job done. Euphoria is more of a gaming language than anything.
Now, have you ever heard Doom being made in Euphoria? I wouldn't think so. C
seems to me to be more powerful that Euphoria, but I like Euphoria's easy to
use strategy.
