Re: How you discovered Euphoria?
Hi
I thimk this brings up an interesting point. One of the selling features
of euphoria is that it is easy for beginners to pick up, but I wonder exactly
how many poeple came to euphoria from other languages, rather than just
being straight beginners, brand new to programming.
This in turn raises another couple of points.
1. Euphoria can be a pig to set up and get going. Are absolute beginners
turned off by this, whereas more experienced programmers / computer users
perservere to install it, set all the paths etc.
2. Beginner programmers expect a GUI / IDE built in to the installation. Rob,
how many users / beginners / sales are being lost because beginners don't have
an installation .exe, which sets up the paths, installs the help files,
installs the IDE (whichever one you decide to be the official one),
and installs a set of well documented example, console / command line,
and GUI?
Just my musings during a quiet moment at work, but then I don't make money
by selling Euphoria.
