Long time no post...
Hello all. Anyone remember me? I don't think I've posted on here in over a year
or so.
Today I found some reference to Euphoria online and my reaction was "Oh my God!
I remember that..." It's odd, really. Euphoria was the only language I programed
in for something like two full years. It was my programming life, I wrote every
program in Euphoria, except when I tried to write a Euphoria interpreter in
OpenPascal over a summer. I used it at my job for all my scripting tasks and even
got my supervisor to sign off on letting me use it for a client or two. I was
even writing a book on Euphoria programming (maybe I'll finish it someday,
although it's probably obsolete already).
Eventually, as college neared its end I started trying to find a job and such. I
was starting work in a start-up doing Common Lisp work in Mac OS X (hence some of
my last posts here consisted of me favorably comparing Euphoria to Lisp and
complaining that Euphoria still wasn't available for Mac). The start-up fell
through but Mac OS X and Common Lisp were too good to ever give up. Since then
I've done no work in Euphoria and all my programming in Common Lisp (except for
work, which was in Matlab and Java). Due to this change me checking EUforum made
less and less sense until I just stopped doing it.
Anyways, while I am mostly just poking my head in and saying "Hi" I also do have
some questions:
1) How has the language changed? The last time I used Euphoria was right before
the switch to it being open source (I think my last post was me saying I was
going to work on porting Euphoria to Mac OS X). So, what has changed since 2.5?
3) Are there any new "killer apps" in Euphoria?
3) How is everyone? Good? I briefly saw that a goto thread got started again. I
guess I didn't miss much...
