Red Language: Answers to community questions
- IshKebab 9y agoSo how exactly do they plan to make money?
- Shoothe 9y agoI think the usual way: let people buy their tokens with Bitcoin, then sell these Bitcoin, there is no step 3. Or did you mean even more detailed description?
- greggirwin 9y agoFrom what has been said publicly, the blockchain sub-project will help raise funds to fuel development in the near term. Long term sustainability, and value, will come from building products, services, and tools.
- vram22 9y agoGood to know they won't be relying on blockchain alone for funding, at least in the long term.
- throwaway7645 9y agoI think Red could find some momentum with blockchain, but I'm not sure how many people will go for yet another ICO, although I'm very ignorant in that area. As long as they keep chugging along I'm happy though. One day I'd love to be able to use Red for nearly all my computing needs.
- Turing_Machine 9y agoFor those who (like me) hadn't seen the Red Language before, there's a lot to like there: http://www.red-lang.org/p/about.html http://www.red-lang.org/p/about.html Not having a baroque toolchain with fifty dependencies has in itself already persuaded me to give it a try.
- vram22 9y agoYes, and I also like their stated goal of Reducing complexity. Good luck, Reducers.
- greggirwin 9y agoWelcome to Red @Turing_Machine! Baroque is fine for music, but not for tech. :) It's funny how a certain feature will attract people to Red (and its predecessor Rebol), but then you find so much more inside. I was the same way. When I found Rebol, in 2001, it was the GUI system that hooked me. That's still a great feature, of course, but it's the core language/format itself, the datatypes, `parse`, and more that I miss when using other tools.
- throwaway7645 9y agoI've seen you on the Rebol/Red forums...do you get paid to write Rebol?
- greggirwin 9y agoI've made a living using Rebol for 16 years, with other things when I have to. :^)
- vram22 9y agoHa ha, very cool. Then you must know Nick Antonaccio, who has too. Seen his Rebol sites.
- greggirwin 9y agoYes indeed. He's a great guy.
- throwaway7645 9y agoI love his 60 bazillion sites. I've seen his stuff on lulu as well, but I wished he went into more detail on some of the apps at times. I can mostly follow along, but stuff like rebtris is pretty terse in a way (lot of functionality in one spot).
- chickenfries 9y ago> Any plans to run a private NEO blockchain? After visiting the NEO website I have no idea what it is supposed to be. https://neo.org/ https://neo.org/
