World: r4wp

I can compile a Red/System extension with the R3 bridge and load 
it into R3. However, only two of the COMMAND examples work:

HELLO and INCREMENT work, the others segfault

Andreas: thanks a lot for this new contribution! Now that shared 
lib generation support is unlocked for Linux, we'll be able to finally 
start working on the Android full support (amongs other new targets).

According to Git it seems that global variables and on-load/on-unload 
are not yet supported. How limiting is that?

Not very, at the moment

The main effect is that Red/System init code is not run when the 
shared lib is loaded, this affects floating point exceptions flags 
and runtime error catching routines. Not a problem for now.

@Peter I took the liberty of commenting the document here https://github.com/dockimbel/Red/wiki/Ideal-array-capabilities
We could add Nenad's comment on it too. 
It is a giant wishlist indeed :)

@Nenad, "Being able to do whatever C does without its outdated syntax 
and bloated toolchains is a dream coming true. ;-)" it is :)

Peter, you should add an "Author:" field in the wiki page header, 
so that it's not being misinterpreted as being a Red official page.

Oh forgot it, I can edit it directly.

DId you by accident wipe the page Nenad?

(No history of the document available, strange)

I changed the title, so the URL changed too, sorry.

I was afraid I caused this.. thx!

@Kaj do you have a url that takes me directly to these files?

Looking for examples of I/O in Red as mentioned above

Your fossil repo is very hard to follow

You wanted a direct file link

You can also download as one package:

http://web.syllable.org/news/2012-11-18-20-47-Red-high-level-programming-language-first-alpha.html

It's a binary repository. The examples are in the source repositories

ah.. linux only

No, why do you think so? The first link shows folders for all platforms

I was looking for hello and increment in the windows folder

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=c2427e44ef51f731&name=Windows/Red

Those are not separate programs, they're COMMANDs in the R3 bridge 
example. And there's no binary for that

Ok you lost me again

I'm not seeing anything named r3 bridge

See above:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-REBOL-3/dir?ci=tip&name=examples

Most of the I/O examples are in GTK programs:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-GTK/dir?ci=tip&name=examples

GTK-text-editor has reading and writing to files and URLs

What I meant when you asked for I/O are the red, red-core and red-base 
interpreter binaries. They're in the Red-test repository, the first 
I gave you

If you have time, a blog/tutorial on how this works would be great

I'll be setting up a website for them later

Doc is keeping me occupied with coding :-)

Until then, the basic documentation is here in Announce

If you start one of those interpreters, the I/O is very simple: READ 
and WRITE like in R2

so you can do cgi?

Yep, has been possible for some time

Both interpreted and compiled

got a red example?

I/O is currently text only, UTF-8. There are %file literals, but 
url! needs to be written as string! for now

For CGI? No, but it's quite standard. Just PRINT the output. There's 
also GET-ENV to get the request environment variables, and you can 
probably get POST input with INPUT

You can test Red I/O on Try REBOL. It runs the red-core interpreter

I'm running your GTK+ Browser and print buttons do nothing?

Did you run it from a terminal?
