I've been watching REBOL/RED anticipation, and recently, frustration.
At first they looked amazing. Then it was clear they weren't being adapted. Now I'm just hoping other languages will be inspired by them.
- 9214 6y agoRebol died as a siloed tech and a late-bloomer in the age of open-source, Red is chugging along, but the rub is that everyone appears to be watching and anticipating from afar, while very few of the followers help the project to achieve its goals and gain the adoption that the public seemingly wishes for. I don't know if this is a historical/cultural problem with the language family itself, or if it's a matter of project's priorities and community incentives. What I do know is that lack of initiative won't bring your dreams to fruition.
