World: r3wp

Maybe. Anyway - it is a bit confusing name, as we know Altme Worlds. 
Maybe a World language woul be better, but - dunno ...

Only Geomol knows the main goal of his project though I woud guess 
it is not disimilar to that of Boron, Red and Topaz.

Interesting anyway, because Boron is a more classical REBOL (architecture 
wise, and well, just my wild guess), Topaz is very different aproach, 
and RED takes different aproach too. But maybe it was in a making 
even before Topaz and Red were announced, who knows. And maybe it 
is just a hobby project :-)

I don't think that World is a hobby project, it is like Boron, Red 
and Topaz which I believe are being developed to meet the authors 
want for a tool that meets their specific needs.

And was REBOL itself so different?

We don't know anything about a World yet, or do we? :-)

PeterWoo: REBOL is the key to all others. The red pill. The root 
of all :)
Pekr: Nope, we don't at all. We need to wait for Geomol.

Hopefully Geomol will tease us each day with a bits of a new info. 
Today we learned there is a compilation :-)

compiled into bytecodes (a la java)  or machine languages ?

I don't know - the only info is here - http://world-lang.org/, maybe 
it tells more to someone more competent than me :-)

No, there is just too little informations currently

It says it uses a VM though, so it must be some bytecode language

Even so, it should not be imposssible to replace the inner bytecode 
with straigth machine language. I'm pretty sure Geomol deeply anticipated 
both use cases. 
Why ? Because I would have likewise :)

Steeve - and where's your REBOL clone? Nowadays it seems all REBOL 
gurus are coming with one. Should I expect Ladislav and Cyphre enter 
the game? :-)

Cyphre has his JIT thing, but am not sure how far he has come with 
it.

The World language now has its own discussion group.

If you are reading this on the web archive, the posts continue here:
    http://www.rebol.org/aga-display-posts.r?post=r3wp871x0

I expect it to be a bit like Lua.

Nick, check the World group.

Thank you :)  (altme hadn't quite finished loading messages on a 
new machine - blush :)

#Good idea, Sunanda :)

Thanks -- it was Reichart's idea that we have a visual marker for 
these languages. Thanls to their developers for agreeing to the name 
change.

Congratulation to the World release :-) Now we can inform OSNews.com, 
right? :-)

Sure, but I would like first to have some of you guys confirm, that 
the release can be downloaded and works.

(I just made some minor changes to the release, so get it again, 
if you already got it.)

Congratulations Geomol. That was a lot of work over what seems like 
a few days.

no binaries in therer? Should I download sources, and build?

The .dat files are the binaries. Rename one to "world" and make it 
executable.

Information is in the README

Geomol, perhaps you could add for example "rename as 'world.exe' 
"
BTW, working here on XP

Ok, thanks for the suggestion.

Why not make it an EXE directly?

Maybe that's better?

On the other hand, from the names as it is now, it's easy to see, 
what version is for which OS.

It would save a step and some thought.

Well, yes, but people are kinda forces to read the README as it is 
now. :) I don't know. Will think about it.

Make it as simple as possible.

Good point. I'll change it right away.

Pekr: maybe someone can inform Carl :)

Maybe I should?

It depends if you can... I think Carl is not reading most of his 
channels.

Pity Carl resumes his hobby, and still leaves whole community without 
a single word of explanation for 13 months already:


http://mendoradio.wordpress.com/2011/11/20/resuming-the-mendoradio-blog/

yeah, R3 chat is down for several months. Personal email nor feedback 
message were enough for Carl to find 1 minute to start the server.

He has a ham radio call sign ... call him up!

:D

I would feel like in post-apocalyptic Terminator scenario - calling 
ppl to start Skynet attack :-)

Works here John. Woohoo!

:) Good to hear.

Scite, first product to support World Programming Language!? :)

Yes... but now you must manualy set  REBOL language for color coding.

btw... the original is here http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html

(I should update the Notepad++ as well)
