I bet you are!!
Could it be that Euphoria after all these years, has reached a crossroad? A
'defining moment' as the famous Dr. Phil puts it?
That happened in the Perl world between Perl4 and Perl5 -- and soon again
with the upcoming Perl6. Some things got broke, but that was the price for
moving on. Anybody *use* that old DOS stuff any more?
I'm too new to Euphoria to pop-off too much, but you have my 'go-for-it'
vote! [ he mumbles: Gosh I hope that this doen't mean I *have* to learn OOP ]
