The same can be done in Python though: a single list of items of varying types.

No, I'm not going to argue that Python is better than Rapid Euphoria. I'm just more cautious in my evaluation of programming languages, and I was curious as to whether your claim with respect to Python was accurate or exaggerated, and from what I see it is the latter, but that doesn't mean that Rapid Euphoria doesn't have advantages over Python, or that Python isn't presently better than Rapid Euphoria in other ways (you yourself have cited an example: the lack of libraries for Rapid Euphoria).
My analysis of your situation remains: if you won't learn C yourself, and you have no community of Rapid Euphoria developers to fall back on, then you just have to wait for a C programmer to come along who loves Rapid Euphoria enough to work on it.
I am rather surprised though that Robert Craig never did implement Rapid Euphoria in Rapid Euphoria: if that had been done, maybe you could modify the code yourself for your goals.
