Here's an interesting (and perhaps opinionated) article on learning programming
languages today -- which ones when, why, and so on:

Way back when I was first getting my digital feet wet TTYs, tape drives, and
mainframes were king and everybody spoke Fortran, COBOL, and maybe Algol. C
wasn't really invented back then, but it had an interesting history about that
time:

And for those that want to see the value of Euphoria, take a look here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)


All this brings me up to a question, where is Euphoria going?

If the future of computing is multiple cores, 64 or 128 bit processors, easy
GUIs for users, and managing data, shouldn't Euphoria be thinking ahead...?

Happy coding...
