To me, what's holding Euphoria back is database connectivity. The day we
can (easily) connect to an ODBC data source we'll be welcome to the major
leagues.
Enterprise computing is oriented to the client/server & distributed
computing model, mainframes are dead ;)
My suggestions are:
a) Include in the documentation/examples how to use network resources
(under the supported platforms), winsock and other related technologies.
b) Develop a wrapper library for ODBC and TCP/IP communications.
