World: r3wp

w> type? a-b
??

w> type? join a {"-" b] ?

Or :

to : operator [
	first
	last
][
	join first ["-" last]
]
type? a to b

Geomol: The use of a path! to  denote a range is a clever way.

But I don't think you need a range! datatype to express boundaries. 
A pair! would do the job as well.
>> block/2x5

Or
to range! reduce [a b]

Use pair! ... hm. Extrapolate that to be used in a matrix.

Or an image.

w> a-b: 1
== 1
w> type? a-b
== integer!
w> a-b: 1.0
== 1.0
w> type? a-b
== real!

It's just like you can't specify pairs using variables.

w> axb: 1
== 1
w> type? axb
== integer!

Same in REBOL.

Thanks for the answer.

w> foreach x 1-10 [print x]
?? :)

Or in plain English: is range! a series! type?

Related:
w> to block! 1-10 ; == ??

Is a range! convertible to a block!/a series! type?

I've used x..y for range notation. In REBOL, that limits you to 255 
if mapped to a tuple, but World wouldn't have to have that limitation. 
I've also used dash/emdash. My BOUNDS dialect is flexible, as it 
was for experimentation.

That looks pretty promising.
What platforms are supported?

QA question noted.

Its too bad but http://world-lang.orgcannot be accessible from Turkey 
:( I'll try with a VPN.

How can that be?

Stats about audience for
http://world-lang.org
after the first 5 days of countdown.

See: http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/world/stats_20111128.png

so the legacy of Rebol will be Rebol clones - not so bad a legacy 
actually

I'm a little sorry to see the R2-style port model instead of the 
R3 style. Are all ports direct at least?

Are there R3 docs in this area? I've look here:
http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/concepts.html
and:
http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/guide/network.html

Those docs either seem to be for R2 or am missing.

It's on the wiki

What wiki?

http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/index.html

is listed as "REBOL 3 Documentation (wiki)" on http://www.rebol.com/docs.html


Do you mean the "old" wiki: http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Table_Of_Contents

Nice breakdown John.

The stats, Gregg?

Yes.

The countdown is nice as well.

Yeah, interesting to see where people, who are interested in REBOL-like 
languages, come from.

Thanks!

R3 port model is definitely a must :-)

:)

Yes, that wiki. It's the only real wiki in the sense that people 
can edit it

Thanks!

That should be enough to rewrite your ports implementation in the 
coming five days ;-)

:D Thanks!

I read some of those again ... really well done

Geomol: "How can that be?" Unfortunately many domain name is not 
accessible from Turkey. The telecommunication company restricts the 
access of many domains, IPs, and even domain names that includes 
some restricted words like porn, f**k or something..

The funny thing is the word of "forbidden" (in Turkish "yasak") is 
also restricted, no one can access a domain which includes "yasak" 
word without using a VPN.
Shame..

Yeah, interesting to see where people, who are interested in REBOL-like 
languages, come from.
 So count me in as well but I never show up in the stats :)

Hmm, reading some docs - there' s so many nice things about the R3, 
pity it is not open-sourced, or that Carl can't devote more time 
to its development ...
