Personally, I'd like to see Rob work on things that us Euphorians can't do
for ourselves. Namespacing, et, we *can* do to some extent, using
preprocessors or whatever.

The thing Eu lacks that I'd most like to see (from my viewpoint as a long-
time programmer in / on antiques like COBOL and mainframes and such) is
decent error handling. It shouldn't be too hard for the interpreter to
return an error code or message or whatever directly to the user's code,
and then let the user (programmer) figure out how to handle the error.

As far as the 95% lurker and 5% contributor thing goes, I'm part of the
95%. However, this is a *good* list. There isn't a day goes by without
something appearing on the list that teaches me something. To the 5%, keep
up the good work!

Tony
