I, on the other hand, find it infinitely easier than C - primarily for
the same reason many find Java superior as well:

   - No pointers
   - Strings
   - Automatic garbage collection

By any definition I can think of, Euphoria is a *highly* structured
language.

I disagree. I think that the "gaming" feature shows off just how fast
Euphoria can be. One of the reasons you see so much gaming stuff written
is the nature of the platform: DOS coders tend to write games.

I suspect that the main reason you don't see as much Win32 code is
because the library support is rather weak. As better tools become
available, I think you'll see more non-game applications being
developed.
