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:
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
