I had a quick look - appears to be an interesting project! I have
dabbled with Euphoria as well, and if it hadn't been for various
"flakiness" with the language (on MacOS X Leopard), as well as within
the community, I might still be using it. ;)

The Joy language might be cool if there are still folks around that
can help with the learning curve.

I tried to give Forth a go, but the c.l.f. newsgroup is nothing more
than an ever-ending argument, and pissing contest. Hans Beezemer's 4TH
language should have been my first exposure to "Forth".
