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:
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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.)
