I've never tried Red before, but I've played around with Rebol. What impressed me most was how quickly you could build working applications, and I'm talking insanely fast, IIRC just by following a beginners tutorial I built a working email client with a simple GUI in about 15 minutes. Perhaps Red can fill a similar niche, for quickly coded apps with a GUI. EDIT: If anyone wants to see the Rebol tutorial I mentioned before, you can see it here: http://easiestprogramminglanguage.com/easiest_programming_language.html http://easiestprogramminglanguage.com/easiest_programming_la...

Interesting; I can't get very far in this, since after install, hitting F5 and saving my temp.txt just opens the "Viewtop" window again; maybe a problem with command line arguments is causing it to just run "rebol" again?

  Red 0.6 featuring support for creating GUI's on Windows is going to be released soon. So, you can wait for that. Or else just download the automated build from http://www.red-lang.org/p/download.html http://www.red-lang.org/p/download.html and try the GUI.
