World: r3wp

but - to proceed in some unified system way, we would need Carl to 
return to Core development, after GUI is done. Without finalisation 
of main interfaces in R3, we still can't do much ...

Pekr, it's not me who made announces on RIF

on peut toujours rêver Claude

Steeve - but you know, what the situation with REBOL is like. So 
you either wait for RIF, or you use something even maybe more suited 
to the job - SQLite. Does everything need to be pure REBOL based?

oui

ye

yes Pekr, but for smallish project an inside DB would be enough

and i'm not waiting for RIF, i know Carl

i am like a kid who wait every day (is not a joke) an announcemet 
for R3 coming out ;-)  even if R3 is not fully finish !!!!

oh my... don't do that or you will do a nervous breakdown

like Graham for example, ahahaha

;-);-);-) near coma

(i must confess, i check rebol.net several times per day)

we are junkies ;-)

but i turned crazy long time ago

well , good night all of you ;-)

You layer together with the hens

(strange trad)

to bed with the chickens (better)

write a script to check rebol.net .. don't use your browser!

Are you guys rebolers or not???

ahah, i like to waste my time

Steeve, when Reichart posted that photo and you said I looked crazy, 
I was worried that my eye strain from the glare was showing in the 
picture. I couldn't see the picture, as I was in it. Having seen 
it now I should have been more concerned about how loose clothing 
makes me look 30+ pounds heavier. By the way, last week was the first 
time most of the REBOL community had seen me, or any met me.

As for whether or not I am crazy - not in any way that shows :)

Need another Devcon!

I could never afford to go before, but next time I might make it 
:)

Brian you are one of the two under the big wheel, but wich one ?

Carl needs a text guru to finish rich text editing. Anton?

Dide - look at picture name, you will decode it :-) But - BrianH 
is imo the guy similar a bit to the mixture of The Edward Scissorhands 
and Thec Cure singer Robert Smith :-)

Henrik - Anton or Gabriele. Gabriele did text handling for first 
VID prototype, and it was probably more complete, no? But of course, 
Anton is guru here :-)

Gabriele too, of course.

Pekr: thanks. Did not saw it ealier.

Don't forget Romano.

Anton, if he has time?

No, I mean, don't forget Romano's past contributions to early VID.

hmm... will that help anything?

I'm the mildly gothy one with the multicolored hair.

Yes, Brian, Good description !

Pekr one was not bad, especially regardings Robert Smith (but missing 
hair's color) :-)

I think Pekr doesn't see too many goths. I'm pretty conservative-looking 
by their standards :)

Pekr is right, when i saw Brian first, i thought, oh God i hope no 
one will give him a scissor...

I am really very happy and well adjusted, which weirds out my friends 
:)

he's already "cutting" our idea on R3 evolutions, so that he doesn't 
need to be more accurate

;-)

We are on the cutting edge :)

Oldes: Is there something new with Rebcode?


Nothing new, but your requesting it means that you don't remember 
the problems the old rebcode had.

The bad news:

- Rebcode didn't work in R2, it was unstable and frequently crashed 
REBOL, very pre-allpha.

- Carl is unlikely to make a build with rebcode because of the above, 
and because he is focusing on R3.

- R2-style rebcode would be slower in R3 relative to the speed of 
regular R3, partly due to changes in function word lookup.

- Any rebcode dialect for R3 would be incompatible with R2 rebcode 
on a basic semantic level.

The good news:

- R3 has features that will make it relatively easy to add our own 
rebcode-like dialect.

- Even though the R2 semantics wouldn't be good, there are more tricks 
we can do to get more speed.

- The main reason that we don't get as much of a relative speedup 
for R2-style rebcode in R3 is that R3 is faster itself.

BrianH - are you going to bring us Rebcode, JIT, or anything like 
that in the future for R3? :-)

Petr, read carefully... he is saying R3 is so much faster that you 
may not need it.

We will see. I'm not going to test it now as I don't have the latest 
R3 version. But I'm really looking forward to see the new R3 features.

R3 (at least publicly available versions) math is definitely not 
10x faster as rebcode was.

For math maybe we will be able to use C-ish plugins with R3
