Jason, I'm somewhat in the minimalist camp, with a caveat: if an added feature
is not going to negatively impact the performance of the interpreter, I
generally don't have a problem with its inclusion. For instance, I'm totally
against GOTO being added to the language, but if it doesn't negatively
affect the performance (read: speed) of the interpreter, then I'm not going
to put up a big fight about it.
I wonder, too, about bloating the interpreter... but with today's hardware,
that's not really an issue.
So, while I share your concerns for Euphoria, I don't think we're at a point
where we are seeing its assimilation into the programmer collective. It's
still unique and fast and useful.
