World: r3wp

IMHO rebol makers shouldn't worry about these side things... they 
should take care of the language design, it's runtime ( easy to extend, 
embed, stabile,. fast) , and the core/native libraries that they 
decided to bring like networking, gui.. if that will be good I am 
sure community will bring in the various external bindings, and build 
rebol frameworks/libs etc (like they have so far)..

prey your God

I will prey my God that RT will be able to provide what I described, 
because that is the root of all things and I imagine no simple task. 
I don't worry for community part.. when someone will need something 
bad enought  they will make a binding/lib/framework

Prey your god, I like that concept :-)

I just noticed blog about R3 being released to a larger group of 
developers today

Good - I hope they blast the bugs out of it.

Hopefully, Gabriele can stop by and give us some scoop on when they 
think it will actually be released.  I don't know if I should hold 
off on Tretbase development or continue.  Since my plan was to port 
to R3 eventually anyway.

Continue (my $0.02)

Yeah I gotta feeling your right.

Why could it not run on R2 and R3 both?

It might end up being that way.

Kaj, there will be a useful subset of REBOL that will work on R2 
and R3 both. Optimized code will often not do so.

No UI yet, which I'm a bit happy about. :-) It is definitely not 
ready for release.

how to get the password to  r3-alpha  ?

I think Carl decides that.

A request has been made for your addition, so we'll see what happens. 
:-)

Running multiple sessions of RebDev is cool. :-) That makes it very 
flexible, as I can display the headings I want.

HEnrik, Are you still working on R3 styles or is that on hold?

on hold for now as I'm working on a large R2 project. it's also good 
to take a break to get away from it, so I can get fresh ideas for 
the UI.

(and I have a few)

who is visually designing it? it looks very cool

I am.

wow, so you are a programmer that can design .. the deadly combination 
:)

I only try my best for Carl. :-)

The visual design is still up for change. I may figure out something 
better tomorrow if I get a good idea. It should also be evident from 
the screenshots that it's an iterative process. There are still a 
lot of things left to do to make this UI really "sing".

well the latest ones look good to me

but I know I do most thing in itterations too

Henrik is the Mid-High level layer programmer while Cypre  is the 
Low-Level one.

hi i would like to obtain a user / password for r3-alpha  thanks

well... it seems I have no permission to add people to r3-alpha yet.

REBOL help in Chinese. More than 1500 records. It's been updated 
to R3 A2.100.30.3.1 http://rebollovesjerry.blogspot.com/2009/01/rebol.html

How are people coping with Carl's chat client ?

Seems hard for us oldies with only bare text to work with .. no graphical 
clues

It would help with a better console. I've also proposed to adopt 
a traditional LS/DIR, CD .. command set. I think that would click 
much easier for us.

Luckily Jerry is not posting in Chinese yet!

Yeah ... I keep wanting to type cd, ls etc

yes, same here.

and cat

btiffin also finds the behavior of H to be wrong and I agree. It 
will quickly degrade into huge lists. Just imagine 20 more users.

If you're going to look like a console, at least let's use console 
familiar tool names

yes, I agree.

Anyway it's too much cognitive loading for me!

Is the server code available?

I love the speed of typing numbers. I don't want that to go away.

not yet.

btw, I've mentioned it before, but try to run rebdev in multiple 
consoles. much more powerful.

I saw you post that ...

all in the same directory?

meaning?
