"Cryptocurrency nonsense" was an idea to create a local economy around Red as an open-source project, based on community-provided services and backed by an ERC-20 token. Think of it as a solution to the class of problems of the cu

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

Red is a "reboot" of Rebol, yes.

Historically, Rebol family takes roots in the ideas of symbolic programming, denotational semantics and distributed computing. It never was an academical project (so you won't find any papers or articles), but rather a mix of pragmatis

Thanks a lot! Am eager to read that short Kindle book you mentioned ;)

This is an interesting and important thing you pointed out, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I cannot answer your question since I'm on the edge of trying Pijul myself, and only briefly read about the patch-based model that it uses.

Title convinced me that this has something to do with a modern reincarnation of Unix ed editor.

Pijul's theory of patches is very appealing, conceptually. IIRC both Pijul and Darcs are implemented in Rust by the same author.

Maybe. Or maybe they do but we don't know it ;)

There's a plethora of air-gap malware studies from Ben-Gurion university [1], abused channels range from thermal, acoustic, optical, to classic TEMPEST. The interesting thing is that there's no escape from such covert attacks, si

I second that, extremely interested myself. Also if insights into board game design can be adapted in a software engineering setting.

Thanks for sharing that! This presentation serves as a nice TL;DR of the book. I am curious if there's a palpable bio-inspired computational model based on these discoveries. [1] and [2] in general come to mind. [1]: https:/&#x2F

Speaking of games, I think Zachtronic's titles might fit the bill, especially Infinifactory. There's a lot of similar programming-oriented puzzlers oriented on kids.

I urge everyone interested in similar topics (bioelectricity and natural electromagnetic phenomena) to grab a copy of Becker's 'Body Electric', it's a fascinating book.

It mixes them because it's a small educational example, no one stops you from following MVC practices if you want. Most of the Red GUI examples I know of are "programming in the small", like CRUD interfaces, games, and variou

Design of 1-player and 0-player games is a topic that really interests me, but finding any coherent resources on it is a non-trivial task. Aside from card solitaire reviews, Hesse's "glass-bead games" (aka Hipbone games [1])

Minor correction: not at the time of Macy conferences, but rather at the dawn of the 60s and rise of second-order cybernetics; Macy conferences ended in 1960, while LoF was published in 1969.

It does attract eccentric people and spiritual seekers of all sorts ([1] gives a good historical overview), but also open-minded academics, like aforementioned Kauffman; Spencer-Brown's ideas were very popular in cybernetics at the tim

I think that's the main idea behind the book's rhizomatic structure, as authors put it.

Retroactively, I would also add "A Thousand Plateaus" by Deleuze & Guattari to this list, except that I haven't yet read the actual thing, but only dipped my toes into related studies, like e.g. "The Allure of Machin

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Sounds like an interesting work in posthumanism and synthetic philosophy, definitely fits the bill.

• "Laws of Form" by George Spencer-Brown, a little book that describes how to bootstrap the Universe from nothing. Louis Kauffman [1] has a lot of papers/writeups on it, from knot theory to quantum physics. If you ever wanted

Interesting pitch for Janet. Here [1] is a quick rewrite in Red language, which lives up to the author's requirements: 10 LOC, native support for all 3 major platforms, can be shipped as a single binary, and all that's required is

For those trying to grok Forth implementation, I cannot recommend Brad Rodriguez' "Moving Forth" [1] series enough. But my favorite one is "1st, 3rd and almost 4th" [2]. Oh, and Loeliger's classic book on the s

Compiling is not entirely out of the question: Red (Rebol's descendant) handles static compilation where it can and delegates the rest to the interpreter.

by 9214 7y ago
For what it's worth, only 1/4 of the toolchain (Red → Red/System compiler and Red/System → native compiler + loader/linker) depends on Rebol2, which in turn is 90% compatible with Red.
