Version 2.5 will introduce an entirely new front end for the Euphoria interpreter, written using Euphoria. Eu will now be written 30% in Euphoria (front end), and 70% in C (back end). This change will allow RDS to more easily make changes with less production time.
As well as a new front-end. RDS has rewritten the Euphoria to C translator in 100% Euphoria code.
This should mean that Rapid Deployment Software might actually be able to rapidly deploy new software. Hehe, is that an oxymoron?
Third, RDS is planning to release a version of the Euphoria interpreter written entirely in Euphoria. This version of Eu will be slower than the official interpretter, but will allow the Euphoria community to make their own changes to EU, and to experiment with ideas.
The feature that most people are looking forward to though is the $ operator. The $ operator will provide a shorthand way of expressing length(s) in slices. This feature is just syntactic sugar, but will help to make code more readable, hopefully.
