Here are a few multiple choice questions: What is most important in making a programming language? a) That its a good, practical language b) That its has structures. Just because other languages have structures, does that automatically mean Euphoria should have them too? a) Yes b) No Do you have some sort of emotional disorder, which makes you want to add structures to a language which cannot easily accommodate them, probably due to some love-affair with structures? a) Yes, that's the reason I want structures! b) No, I just make this statement about structures because here on the list almost everybody wants structures, and this way I'll be liked. c) No, I seriously think structures would be good for Euphoria. What are the basic types of variables in Euphoria? a) objects, sequences, atoms, integers b) two basic objects: sequences and atoms c) we need structures!!! Do you actually have some experience programming with structures in other languages, which you base your judgments about structures on? (incoherent ramble deleted) a) Yes b) No No, this is not a flame. This is an inverted version of a questionnaire Ralf so generously provided us with. I hope *both* sides are clear on this now. :) Gabriel Boehme
