I thought Lisps called them "dialects" (same as in Rebol / Red). Couple of other terms i've seen... * Pidgin - An attempt to get away from DSL ambiguity! * Slang - This is what Perl6 calls them

Red is still at alpha stage of development. I suspect once it reaches beta level then it main garner more appreciation.

What other languages give you this power? Rebol / Red NB. Here's an old Wikipedia link listing (some) languages that were good for creating dialects (DSLs) - https://web.archive.org/web/20140708161345/h

Here's a naive conversion to Smalltalk (tested in Pharo) going up to N=30.... | rec results | rec := [ :y :z | 108 - (815 - (1500 / z) / y) ]. results := { 4. 425/100. } asOrderedCollection. 3 to: 30

That's why it's good to have a cross-platform path datatype/literal baked into the language. For eg. in Rebol/Red - http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/datatypes/file.html

It's even a bigger shame that Crockford wasn't able to go with Rebol (instead of "discovering" JSON), which he was originally pushing/planning :(

Perl6 & Smalltalk also have them (conditions&restarts). And i've seen modules to add condition systems to perl5, Ruby & Clojure. But these are kinda of hacks so the more languages that have it baked-in the better!

Yes there does need to be more Rebol docs about building dialects. There have been some in the past and here's what I've been able to find: * Designing Dialects for Control and Communication - http://www.kealist.com&
