not sure if you're astro-turfing or really unaware of the difference, but in its time rebol had the level of awareness of, say, the rust language now - not something a lot of people used, but with a decent profile in the technical press. a known, interesting, but unlikely to make it language. a class B if you like. in comparison, red is class C. it's new, has little awareness and little coverage. it's even less likely to make it. this is not a judgement on the merits of either language (although if you want that, rebol's syntax aware approach looks more interesting to me than anything red has to offer), just trying to give a historical perspective: rebol was bigger than red is now and, i suspect, still has more users, even now. on the other hand, rebol is clearly heading down while red can only go up.
