Re: Standardized Euphoria

I'm still confused on the purpose of changing the standard libraries.

When we attempted the ESL we got hung up on details like coding standards and
specifications and what not. We didn't have just one person with some good ideas
that the others were willing to follow, rather we had several people whose
definitions of what needed to be done were all different. That is where you
probably have an advantage.

I haven't seen any of this Empire stuff except for references to it over the
years so I don't necessarily know whether its longevity is an advantage or not.

I also wonder about your statement up above about not being able to write
documentation. Can't you write documentation from your specification? You do have
a specification, don't you? Even though I haven't grasped it from your posts you
seem to have one.

Anyway, my vote is that the current Euphoria libraries are just fine as they are
but there is some functionality that needs to be added as "standard".
