Welcome 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).
- vram22 9y agoYes he has many sites. Some overlap among them, but still good. Agreed that more detail would be good.
- throwaway7645 9y agoHaha, thanks Gregg! Glad to hear that people do. I hope Red catches on and you can use that for everything (my intent if it works out)!
