World: r3wp

In C++ for example the defaults are set as follows:

int fnc (int x = 1 int y = 2){...}

I can understand the syntax issue from the perspective of it requiring 
the parameters defaults be ordered.

Languages that wrap function arguments in parentheses (like C and 
Pascal) or are line-oriented (like Basic and Python) or at least 
have statement separators (like ; ) have a way of telling where their 
argument lists end. REBOL can only do so if the arity of a function 
is determinable at the call site. This is the price we pay for getting 
rid of the parentheses.

Yeah, I wish Carl would give more specifics on the internals sometime.

That is not a matter of internals, it really is a consequence of 
REBOL's evaluation rules. You can't change it without changing the 
language in drastically incompatible and slower ways.

Ok, i made a demo using the virtual block scheme (tested only with 
the last alpha)

Why you use such a site instead of using for example rebol.org?

it's small.

the scheme size 4,5 Kb, i add documentation, so now it's huge 10 
Kb

Oldes, it's a first try, then i will post it in rebol.org

and i have no ftp currently T_T

Steeve, why does CLEAR clear the whole block?

Don't see nothing there but ads. Steeve, if you want something quick 
you can use mediafire.com

www.mediafire.com

because there is now way to delete one or several records currently

Steeve, ah, forgot that.

Try that link above - it is good.

Paul, try reloading the page a few times. It worked here.

I had to put on compatibility mode but got it.

(but I agree those sites generally suck)

T_T

I'm not sure I'm doing something right as I got an error.  Let me 
look thru the script.

Oh this requires R3 - duh.  I can't try this out yet.

uhuh T_T

I'll check it out in a few months.  ;-)

Steeve, so the basic limitations now are natives that don't support 
ports?

it seems

you can call the actor with his full path anyway, but' it's not rebolish

the main objective it to allow programers, to switch between normal 
blocks and virtual blocks when they want without the need to rewrite 
their code

brb (shower time)

Watch out: R3 currently doesn't support documentation or anything 
other than whitespace (if that) before the REBOL header. Yes, it's 
a bug. You will need to remove the docmentation from the beginning 
of the script for this to run.

Steeve, I notice that there are several comments that start with 
BUG! or MISSING! - I expect to see CureCode tickets for each of these 
:)

Unless you would prefer I write them.

Brian, it's strange i can run the script as-is

Brian write them please i'm a bit lazy with that bugs.

Really? That's new. I'll test that and mark the associated ticket 
as tested if so :)

That was a comment on 2 messages past.

ot, Brian: could you have Carl build a 2.7.7 alpha/beta with all 
the work you have done? shouldn't take much time for him 8)

Steeve: When you say the data are saved as Rebol values does that 
mean they are saved as molded Rebol values?

Will, I haven't done a lot of work for R2 lately - only Anton has, 
afaik, and we haven't even gone over his submissions yet. After the 
R3 public release happens and the next DevBase is running we can 
work on a R2 release. More backports I hope :)

Peter, yes it's molded values.

Thanks for the status, Brian

Nope, still doesn't work.
>> write %blah to-binary "hello^/rebol [] print 1"
>> do %blah
** syntax error: Script is missing a REBOL header: hello

** Note: use WHY? for more about this error

Strange again, i do my script as-is and it works...

SCRIPT? still doesn't work properly, because the native FIND-SCRIPT 
it calls still doesn't work properly.

Look again: Is the script you are doing the same as the one you posted, 
including the docs at the top?

I like WHY? idea so much, dunno why :-) It looks so natural/simplistic 
...

y

yep Mister Biran, it's the same

* Brian, sorry
