It's these limits I don't understand. What do you need "console
printing" for? Piping to another process? That seems to work, and
when it doesn't, you can write to a temp file and then read it
back (old versions of Win are doing that anyway when using pipes,
so I don't see it as a workaround, but as the only way to do it in
that environments). Sending output to a file via redirection? I
think that works too, and you can do that so easily in REBOL
itself that it is not point anyway. CGI? It works. Prompting the
user? REBOL's console is much better than Windows', so just use
that. Anything else?
Of course, Isaac is free of using whatever language he wishes, and
I suggest him doing so. However, I think REBOL deserves better
explorations than just HelloWorld. ;-) And I know for sure that
REBOL is too easily underestimated, and that's too bad, really.
(As Carl often says, REBOL is like a lake: at first you only see
the surface, but only later on you can discover how deep it is.
I'm around here since /Core 1.0.2 or so, but I'm not yet
approaching the bottom it seems.)
Regards,
Gabriele.
