Smalltalk is quite lispish in many ways (closures, most stuff is an expression, simplicity etc). Rebol fascinates me - and I have only scratched its surface. For more on Rebol you should look at www.red-lang.org. Especially the stuff around the Parser DSL, like:

Red is in fact very impressive and definitely the "modern Rebol".
- draegtun 11y agoIn terms of development toolkit and implementation then yes Red could/should be considered the "modern Rebol". However in terms of the language (syntax & semantics) then Rebol 3 is definitely the "modern Rebol". Have a look at Ren/C for the new ideas and the very latest development of the Rebol 3 codebase - https://github.com/metaeducation/ren-c https://github.com/metaeducation/ren-c
- gokr 11y agoYou are ever so correct, sorry about that! I also would like to say that I am slightly "disappointed" that Red decided to stick so closely to Rebol. Personally I definitely don't find everything in Rebol to be so perfect. ;)
