Hi Igor,
I second you in every word. Each language has its peculiarities. I can
understand Kat when she claims for a GOTO or labeling but I can pass without it
by constructing functions and procedures I can call from anywhere (globally).
I confess I didn't put my hands deeply in Euphoria: lack of time,
unfortunately. Right now, I'm finishing a commercial application (text editor)
translation into Portuguese. As soon as I have some spare time, I'll give it
entirely to Eu.
A small application with a nice database handling will be my first goal. I
hardly can wait to start. BTW, looking at EDS, it looks alike MUMPS
hierarchical global variables. Am I wrong? I see many trying to create indexing
for EDS but AFAIK it is a hierarchical database system not a relational
database system. I'm planning to use MUMPS techniques to build relations using
hierarchical tables (inverted key pointers) and keep it as simple as possible.
I'll keep you all informed of my progress.
Cheers!
