I have to disagree depending on the application.
Eu wont stand up to C on some things that must be
extremely fast, but for quite a few things it
seems to do just fine.  If you have a fast computer,
you can do even more still.

Recently i wrote a windows program to simply balance my
checkbooks, and now instead of taking 15 to 30 minutes,
it takes about 120 seconds (no kidding) to balance all
my accounts.  To enter a new item, about 5 seconds or less.

The neat thing is, it only took about 6 hours to write
from scratch.

Oh yeah, recently i also wrote a jpg/bmp picture viewer.
While the decompressor is written in C, the viewer itself
is ALL in Euphoria.  Ive submitted it to RDS also.
