I totally agree.
And it also doesn't mean, that all Open Source languages are
automatically good, just because they are Open Source.

Yep.

I think, this might be an important point regarding Euphoria, too.
On the one hand, many poeple (including myself) would like to have this
and that option added to Euphoria. On the other hand, AFAIK every Eu
programmer likes the clear and clean syntax of Euphoria. If too many
"bells and whistles" would be added to Euphoria, probably the syntax
soon wouldn't be clear and clean any more.
