World: r4wp

Doc, have you looked at Flattr integration? I've only just heard 
of it, but maybe it's another donation option for those of us, who 
are unable to use Paypal and wary about banktransfers.

Flattr: yes, and I have received at least one donation on it, but 
can't retrieve it unless I accept to pay a monthly fee. I understand 
the logic behind it, but don't find it very handy.

@Gerard: I will try it under 3.1 in the emulator.

Doc, no series in RED ?

Or blocks ?

If Red wouldn't have series and blocks, it wouldn't have much in 
common with REBOL. ;-)

@Gerard: works under emulator with 3.1, the kernel version is much 
lower though than the one you've reported, I have 2.6.29 here.

Sorry Doc, I have made the wrong question: I don't see in the documentation 
block and series manipulation functions. Maybe I am looking at the 
wrong place ?

Which documentation? There's currently no documentation about Red, 
only about Red/System.

Red and Red/System are two different things that you should not confuse.

Ok, I am officially confused ! :-)

:-)

Have a look at these ones:
- http://static.red-lang.org/red-system-specs.html#section-1

- slides 7 to 13 in my SFD presentation: http://www.red-lang.org/2011/09/red-at-software-freedom-day-2011.html

The DSL link in the docs is going to the French Wikipedia. You may 
want to anglicise that

Read ! Very interesting.

Now I have understood.

Kaj: hehe, good one. :-)

URL fixed.

@Doc : Thanks for the try of the emulator - Now installing the Android 
update for my - almost 50 % left to do after 30 minutes - for an 
88 MB download - !!!  I will retest after everything is completed...

@Doc : Now I'm upgraded to Android version 3.2 Kernel is left unchanged 
to version 2.6.36.3 - Will try later for the tests - other more urgent 
taks are awaiting  for me now ...

No problem, I will test with 3.2 too.

Doc, Maybe it has been asked thousand of times. Which will be the 
differences in RED Lang compared to REBOL ?

Only 999 times :-)

Hehe :-) For the core language, from user perspective, it will be 
very similar. For the external libs (GUI mainly), Red will provide 
different options. For more detail, you can re-read all the slides 
from the two presentations I've made for Red.

@Doc : No better success even if running from NativeEXE.apk version 
0.5 and Android version 3.2 - will continue to read before being 
able to investigate myself what could be done - Please don't loose 
your time on this case for now - You have much better  to do ... 
even if it's annoying a bit. I don't despair but I really can't be 
useful to you for now... my understanding of the inner working of 
this stuff exceeds my current capabilities !

a "hello world!" written in and compiled by red/system running on 
a raspberry pi:

[pi-:-raspberrypi]:~$ ./hello-reds.arm 
hello from red/system!

([pi-:-raspberrypi]:~$ uname -a

Linux raspberrypi 3.1.9+ #90 Wed Apr 18 18:23:05 BST 2012 armv6l 
GNU/Linux)

Nice :-)

cool :-)

Does the provided hello.reds script work too?

hello.reds works as well, yes.

who's raspberrypi ?

I expect it's Andreas' RaspberryPi, as Doc tweeted, that his is still 
undelivered?

Mine, yes.

There is now also an English page on Wikipedia about Red:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_%28programming_language%29

Cool!

we can add red-lang.org and cheyenne-server.org links to the external 
references.

red-lang.org is there. Cheyenne doesn't have much to do with Red 
yet

However, Windows, OS X and Android are missing from the OS entries

we can copy/paste "about" section from http://www.red-lang.org/p/about.html
as well.

Be careful with that. The Red site is speaking in the future. Wikipedia 
will not regard that as encyclopedic information

I see. So we will put those information after Red is completed.

It would be interesting for RED to be a strict superset of REBOL...

It is interesting what does DocKimbel think about such possibility...

You're right: as a compiler, it can't be

Bas: great work, thank you!

Evgeniy: I am not sure if a strict superset of REBOL is doable in 
Red without introducing some important runtime overhead, making the 
compilation approach much less efficient, so less useful. I'll try 
to push it as far as possible and will stop when we loose too much 
performances.

Hello Doc - how are you doing, lately? Still busy with the non-red 
related contract? :-)

Unfortunately yes, but it should end in about ten days, so I could 
finally get back to the interesting stuff. I'm becoming an MQL4 language 
expert now, and I really don't like that (even if it can make me 
see some interesting niche opportunities for a Red dialect). ;-)

Well, as for dialects, I still can see PARSE as a secret weapon. 
Hopefully Red gets to R3 or Topaz level, as far as parsing goes. 
We could create some dialects for niches, I think ppl would see the 
advantage ...
