Features
Euphoria was conceived and developed with the following design goals and features:
- Ease of learning and with consistent high-level constructs (more so than e.g. the BASIC language)
- Implementation of flat-form 32-bit memory to avoid complicated memory management and size/addressing limits
- Debugging support and run-time error-handling
- Subscript and type checking
- Loose and strict variable typing
- Programming via objects as types (user-defined or otherwise)
- Interpreted, with automatic memory management and garbage collection
- Heterogeneous collection types (sequences)
- DOS graphics library (Euphoria language versions up to and including 3.1.1)
- Debugger
- Integrated database system
- Low-level memory handling
- Straightforward wrapping of (or access to) C libraries

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
