Don't mind him, Kat.
He's the type of guy that prevents Rob from implement
the features us AI coders are asking for.
These people like, write their first program in Eu, a
Hello World program, and when someone asks for a new
feature in Eu, these people say "I don't need that! I
never felt inclined to use such a feature".

And interpreter that can't interpret dynamically will
never make it.

I know how Eu's interpreter works, and it wouldn't be
that hard to implement this.
Rob should create a new 'int *code;' array wich holds
to addresses of variables and opcodes (like ADD, etc.)
whenever interpret() or run() or whatever is called.

This way us Eu coders can implement fast programming
languages of our own, code extremely powerfull AI
algos
that modefy their own code, load and call Euphoria
routines from disk as DLLs, apply our own encryption
to our  Euphoria program components, dynamically
re-write parts of our program while it is allready
running, etc...
Euphoria has a LIGHTNING FAST top-down descent parse
that makes it possible for Euphoria program to get the
best Dynamic Interpretation ever seen.
In a fraction of a fraction of a second, your dynamic
code will be running.

I'd personally like to see it implemented as a
'load()' routine, wich would work like this;

integer MyFoo
MyFoo = load(
"procedure MyFoo() puts(1,\"FOO!\") end procedure"
            )

call_proc(MyFoo,{})

So that you could do this if ya want;
integer fptr
fptr = open("dll.txt","w")

puts(fptr,"procedure MyFoo() puts(1,\"FOO!\") end
procedure\n")

call_func(load(gets(fptr))



Cool huh?
