Yes there does need to be more Rebol docs about building dialects. There have been some in the past and here's what I've been able to find:
* Designing Dialects for Control and Communication - http://www.kealist.com/ http://www.kealist.com/
* A little logo interpreter - http://ceronio.net/2015/02/having-fun-with-rebol-parse/ http://ceronio.net/2015/02/having-fun-with-rebol-parse/
* TUI dialect - https://web.archive.org/web/20070829095319/http://rebolplanet.com/articles/tui-dialect/ https://web.archive.org/web/20070829095319/http://rebolplane...
- throwaway7645 9y agoI'll check these out, but why doesn't Carl have something like this on the official site in a prominent place? You can't spend 5 minutes on a lisp forum without hearing of and seeing macros everywhere. Why not Rebol & Red? I'm getting a little off topic, but hope Red doesn't make this same mistake.
- greggirwin 9y agoMaking it prominent will appeal to a different target audience. Rebol is beginner friendly, but dialects (as easy as it makes them) are an advanced topic. We'll try to provide good docs and examples for Red, though, because it is a key feature that sets it apart.
- throwaway7645 9y agoNever thought Carl might have done that for marketing reasons. Thanks for the insight. I look forward to a write-up on Red dialects :) than. Hopefully, I can start contributing to the project some once I get a better grasp.
