There is the OpenEuphoria movement. Why has no one even mentioned that?
There is working being done on making a compatible open source core for
those librarys ... if what you say is true then when this is done the OE
community will become very popular quickly.

However, while there was a lot of initial interest, the movement has slowed
quite a bit. Apparently there isn't a huge amount of interest in having
Euphora Open source after all...

(I'll still try to write one, of course, simply because I find it an
interesting project. As do many other open source coders.)
