Hi there Vincent,

Very interesting article there.  I didnt agree with everything, esp
that one point about having a second CPU core just to run adware..
i think if that was the case then something else is wrong or missing
on that system, but anyway, i found one point to be especially perfectly
exactly totally true:

QUOTE FROM ARTICLE (about oop):
  OOP’s strengths in abstraction and dependency management made it a
  necessity for achieving large-scale software development that is
  economical, reliable, and repeatable.
END QUOTE FROM ARTICLE.

I'm pretty sure i'll quote that in my WinClass library documentation
too.

As to what/how/where/why Euphoria might support that in the future...
im sure if the need rises Rob will consider adding something to manage
separate cores, as he did with multitasking recently when a number of
people suddenly became interested.
Maybe he'd be nice enough to reply to this thread to shed some light
on this subject...


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
