Why Forth? You just opened wiki Rebol article and first thing you saw was Forth, wasn't it?
- kaoD 10y agoI'm certainly not familiar with Rebol/Red, but every single time I've been introduced to them as "modern incarnations of Forth", and AFAICR they conserve right-to-left function application and the concept of dictionaries as dialects of the language, don't they?
- mapcars 10y agoRed is modern incarnation of Rebol, which is it's own unique language. It was influenced by Forth, true, but this is only influencing, Rebol has much more of it's own ideas than taken from others.
