I agree 100% too... let the most people have a chance to play with it, and
many of
them will try to keep the tool they find the most easy/clear/fast to use.

Excellent, award yourself at least two gold stars for initiative.  This
is a fine example of how to spread The Word About Euphoria to a wider
audience.

I would also suggest that you include C ( or C++ ) in the course as well
( despite my hate of it ), simply because it is the main programming
language in use commercially, being able to contrast and compare would
reveal its ( and other languages ) strong and weak points.  The choice
of language for a particular application depends on which have which
strengths / weaknesses [ Note the debate on Structures recently ].

All the best with the course.
