Yes, 10 years have gone by since Euphoria 1.0 was released,
and I'm still working on this thing.

I released 1.0 by uploading it to a
local Toronto BBS (Bulletin Board System - remember those?),
using my 2400 Baud modem. In those days very few people
had even heard of the Internet. There was no Web to speak of.
To distribute Euphoria better, I bought a 14,400 baud modem,
and started uploading to a bunch of other BBS's
around North America. Eventually I put it on Compuserve,
GEnie and the fledgling America Online.

10 years isn't old by programming language standards.
C is about 30, Fortran almost 50. Hardware sure
advances a lot faster than software.
