I totally understand what you mean. However - and not because I'm the author of the language - once you get the general idea of Arturo (or any of the languages of the Rebol family: be it Rebol, Red, or Arturo), I assure you that you wi

Thanks a lot for your kind words. I really appreciate it! :) Regarding "?"-functions. Yes, the idea was this: to separate "normal" functions (that is, functions returning something or altering a value in-place) from func

Thanks a lot for your nice comments. I've done my best. As for the inspiration, as I've said before, although the two languages (or the 3 of them, if I include Red) did end up looking quite similar, when I started out I had no kno

Good question. As a matter of fact, the question has been asked again (see here @ our "official" discord channel: https://discord.com/channels/765519132186640445/765519132186... ) As I mention in that spe

No offence taken. I guess this (quite common) question could go for a wide variety of things... but then, many things would have been left without been invented or even tried. Now, to try to properly answer your question: I guess the simple

Regarding if returning a value - and thus, being able to use it as part of an expression - is an absolutely interesting idea I've been thinking of implementing. However, I still don't know how. One idea would be to add an .attribu

Basically, the idea behind "?" is "functions that return a boolean". But done in a consistent way. So, practically EVERY function that returns a boolean is - by convention - terminated with a "?". Now, why the
