Euphoria is a simple, powerful and easy to learn programming language. The Euphoria interpreter outperforms all major interpreted languages, and you can also make an even faster .exe file. Version 3.0.1 is now completely open source, and completely free. Cooperative multitasking has been added as well as the usual bug fixes and minor enhancements.
I am an engineer. I do not need complicated GUI program. At this view, I think EUPHORIA is very easy and useful.
Cons
Not popular language. So it is diffcult to find out someone who use EUPHORIA. And homepage give much information for coding and enough.
Summary
I think it is good language for beginner. And almost (engineer's) problem can be coded.
Good language for everyone

Pros
It's easy , fun , creative and functional
Cons
Lacks of help & support catalogues

Depends on what kind of application you are trying to build, Euphoria can be the best or the worst choice. I do not recomend this programming language if your application must have a lot of GUI elements, windows, dialogs or things like this. You will spend more time designing your GUI than programming the algoritms. Here I am talking about Windows GUI. For MSDOS programming there are a lot of libraries available for Euphoria... <p>For any other goal Euphoria is a good choice. There is a good Euphoria database system. There are a lot of libraries and solutions for almost any common problems. I have a complete dinamic website based on Euphoria, running faster than another one based on PHP for example.<p>I can't recommend this product highly enough because it's an interesting concept, easy to understand and use. No matter if you are an experienced C or C++ programmer or a beginer with no programming skils, you will spend only some days to learn Euphoria.<p>Easy to learn, easy to debug and fast. This is how it is.
Cons
Dealing with Windows dinamic link libraries is difficult. There are no complete Windows dll "wrappers", there are some good libraries for dealing with that, but you will always encounter a situation where some functions or some constants from Windows API are not defined...

Cons
Euphoria interpreter should be open source... Only if you spend some money you can get the source code.
Summary
Easy, clear, powerful, and very fast
JacquesGuy
Pros
The syntax is clear and regular, making for terse, very readable code. Terser than Pascal, immensely more readable than C (which is downright cryptic). Automatic garbage collection is a godsend and so is the Euphoria type "sequence" which I can best describe as typeless, dimensionless arrays. Writing in Euphoria takes me a fraction of the time it used to take in Borland Pascal -- perhaps one fourth -- and debugging is hardly ever needed.
Cons
Summary
A good programming language

Pros
Euphoria is a small, simple, elegent, and fast programming language. Dynamic sequences makes the language powerful.
<p>There is a binder, & Euphoria to C translator which makes standalone EXE or DLL files.
Cons
Very little in terms of professional development tools are provided in the package, such as IDE's, Windows/Linux editor, and packaging utilities. The standard library is aging, and offers only basic functionability. Windows/Linux support is bare bones, with no integrated OS API of anykind built in to the language, thus making it very challenging to produce a Windows/Linux GUI application. (Thanks to a dedicated team of people, a library called Win32Lib has wrapped a significant amount of the API for the Windows platform).
Summary
Great
petopeplib
Pros
It is a good programming language for beginners, but not as easy as BASIC.
<p>
<p>You do not have to compile.
Cons
You have to type 'ex' to run the program, and if you want to distribute it, you have to include the .e files, and the ex program.

Best thing out there!

This thing rocked since I've ran DOS 5!
How do you use it again?
Pros

Summary
I found the documentation awful, the program did not run on my computer at all. I use windows xp. It smells like a shareware language, and unfortunately it is not polished at all. Windows functionality is non existant, dont bother with this trash.
