Re: What's wrong with Euphoria??? Newbie perspective...
EU-NOW, you're hitting the real problem, I think:
Most advanced programmers know how to use non-"newbie" languages, and hardly
need Euphoria. C++ or Java are not too difficult for them to learn, are
powerful and flexible enough - more than Eu-, and these coders may be able to
use paid company resources to develop using these.
Part-time programmers would be interested in getting a more versatile, more
powerful etc etc Euphoria, but they lack the mix of available time, patience
and programming expertise to pursue this goal hard enough and make it a
real-life thing.
In this sense, Eu is a niche programming language, and carving a niche out of
a niche may not lead to a widely used language. If it was not, RDS would have
already died from its stifling licensing scheme, or relinquished it years ago,
because of such clones.
You are clamoring for an open source Eu. See what happened on the OpenEu list
you provided a link to? Perhaps it's not dead, but currently dormant. 'Want to
help out?
By the way, also visit the project page at http://sourceforge.peu.net/ . It is
not related any longer to P.Eberlein's or Menno's origianl PEU, even though
Zoec reuses sizable chunks of the code.
