Rebol 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.
