_ertw··on Euboea – simple, fast, AOT-compiled programming language
Well, I've seen sometimes bizzare progarmming language names with spelling explaination.

But to be honest, I don't care how my language will be called. I'm not crazy about the correctness of the pronunciation of my name too.

Very simplistic crash course with ton of examples.

The name is just spelled like [ˈevia]. You know, we don't choose names ourselves. I feel comfortable with Krzysztof Szewczyk, but if it's risky for you, nothing stops you from calling me somewhat different.

This avatar wasn't taken from anime. It's drawing of Alexios Komnenos.

I think complaing about author's and project's name is out of place.

Currently no, but any help on it would be greatly appreciated!

I've made a mistake while creating thread and I think I'm no longer able to edit the title.

I'm from Poland, so such name is natural for us.

Euboea depends on POSIX and X86 highly, therefore I thought about Euboea like about another text processing / computation language to be used in shell scripts making programming easier.

> isn't interfacing with C and "no access to files" contradictory

As UNIX philosophy states, CLI tools may use stdin and stdout (among other streams), to read data, process it, and output it back. Also, this model is ensuring a) safety, b) simplicity.

Interfacing with C is actually not that advanced right now and all you can do is to specify C function name by modifying libE.c, it's exported name usable from Euboea and amount of parameters (-1 if vararg)

I have tested it myself and it's nearly as fast as luajit, but I didn't publish results. It doesn't mean you can't try it yourself!

Wiki is not completed yet, but I'll be working on it.

Please check the wiki and examples directory :)

Yes.

JavaScript is often misusing this term, I'll benchmark Euboea against Rust or C++ soon.
