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 ...

Not really on topic here, Kaj, but welcome news nonetheless :)

That's interesting reading. Can an instruction set for a CPU be copyrighted 
then?


Funny that the story is about SAS Institute and a company called 
"World Programming". A very dear frind of me works at SAS Institute 
France just south of Paris. I have to get his comments on that story. 
:)

Yes, I'd say it's quite on topic

Got response from my friend in France. He writes: Beware of WPS (World 
Programming System)! You NEVER know, what they're up to. Today SAS 
- tomorrow WPL!

Seems like he knows about them. :)

Like the countdown.

Frustrating

Hand me 100k, and you can get a pre-pre-release! ;p


Or you can wait a bit and see it as a little extra early x-mas present.

I'm an atheist, x-mas is just annoying.

:)

Yeah, I agree to some point.

Did you do some speed benchmark ? (R3 vs R2 vc World) ?

(I know, QA noted)

QA noted! :D

And good question!

I have noted 12 questions now. I'll do what I can to answer those 
questions as precise as I can before the countdown is finish.

Another one.

We already know that your physics background influenced the new complex 
numbers datatype.
Should we expect further progress of this kind ?

I feel, it's better to hold the Q&As together, now it's a brand new 
language.


What do you mean? More about numbers, extension of complex numbers 
like Quaternion or do you mean more about physics/science?

about physics/science

Ok, I'll answer that Q too in the QA.

I don't remember if you alread stated  your intention to share  your 
work (open-spourced) or not ?

That's the first question, I got.

Arghhh, frustrating !

(I'm sure you have fun)

1.5 more Qs: how long has this been in the making in general & how 
much time have you spent programming it?

My guess is about two years :-)

Noted :)

I know the secret - World is just new marketing layer to R2, hence 
nothing new :-)

Nothing new here ... move on ... move on ...

No, the innovation is swapping all values in the DLL interface

:D

:-)

is there a way loading and interfacing pure object files, how about 
callbacks ?

Question noted.

hmm, KWATZ, I think that Btiffin would be happy, because IIRC, he 
wanted to be able to load "any" data :-)

I like the kwatz! datatype :-)
