This was the idea. Nobody seems willing to write it as yet. How about you Rob
? 2.0 Final will be out soon and you complain that you do not get to do enough
in Euphoria...

And about the constant pre-calculating : I agree with Ralf. Programmers work
to a language's limitations. If you are a speed freak then you substitute
readability for efficiency. Also, I have noticed an awful lot of similarities
between Euphoria and Java - interpreted, extensive checking, non-square arrays
and semi-compiling. While Euphoria is far superior in terms of simplicity,
flexibility (MAIN selling point) and also has a higher interpreter efficiency,
it is lacking in the garbage collection and compiler options (by this I refer
to Java byte codes), which I kind of assumed would come too.

Remember, no compiler or interpreter is too fast, too memory-stingy or too
easy to use.
