Re: Any DDJ articles on Eu?
Hello folks,
I too have been considering putting together an article about Euphoria and
yes I have been thinking "maybe this is Rob's job" but now I'm thinking
from a different tack:
Fact One:
Rob is way, way, way too busy doing Euphoria stuff to get into such "self
promotion".
Fact two:
Promoting and spreading the word of Euphoria will be better received from
happy users of the language (who have even paid for the full version) than
from it's creator. I bought a Ford because a friend let me try his and I
liked it - _not_ because Henry T. just said his cars were great. (No
flames on the better or worseness of Fords please - it's an analogy 
.
So my advice is submit as many articles as possible. I'll be working on
mine for sure. I'm _always_ telling my friends and work associates about
Euphoria. Recently we saw Euphoria beat the pants off UNIX based Perl in a
particular benchmarked task which is great because I now have evidence that
Linux Sys Admins (the unwashed masses at slashdot.org take note > should
listen to.
Euphoria makes programming sense - make everyone you know aware of this!
Let's face it the public domain (i.e free, no cost, no charge) version of
Euphoria is so blooming powerful as a standalone bit of freeware I am
utterlly amazed that Euphoria isn't front page news on such download sites
like www.davecentral.com - how can something this great be "free"? Simple,
its bloody fantastic!!!
Spread the word folks.
Regards,
FP.
