World: r4wp

Kaj, thx for the info. now I am on the serverside (nix) to compare 
the handling and performance with the current Lua stack I am using.

Would be great if we could work on some extensions later, on the 
base we did before if you like ;-)

I'm open to it. R3 extensions in Red/System on Unix requires the 
dyn-lib-emitter branch to be finished and extended to other platforms

Alternatively, a Red(/System) host could be written that loads the 
R3 library, but that's not so simple, because there's no real separation 
in the R3 host code between the platform-specific and cross-platform 
parts of the host. That means you're almost forced to write the host 
in C, pulling in the existing C code

should Red/System not be advertised/pomoted a bit more as a better 
way to write rebol extensions, now that Rebol is OS? I mean, it should 
be listed on the Rebol GitHub project as the best way, if indeed 
it is. Possible on rebol.com, if Carl would allow it.

possible = possibly

I think so, but only after the dyn-lib-emitter branch is finished

any ETA on that?

Ask Doc :-)

I should get back to it around early January.

Well, I am not good at those things, but having R3 extensions written 
in R/S seems a good oportunity to those, who are not much fluent 
in C, and always wished for more flexible R2 DLL interface, no? :-)

we have:
- COM Interface
- BEEP
- SQLite
- Licensing support functions

Great, will setup a page the next days, to list the current extensions 
with description/download link to get a better overview.

Just running the first embedded POSIX prototype here with a bunch 
of usefull functions like pid handling, fork, nanosleep, popen, execve, 
sig, pipe etc.

Pekr, Yes!!

Robert, do you have a download link for your extensions mentioned 
above?

Not yet. Still building it up.

BEEP = Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol ?

Yes.
