I have written "business apps" in REBOL, so I think it's actually
very good at that. You need to be able to change the application
quickly because the needs of companies may change, or just because
the initial analysis is never 100% correct. Being able to create
prototypes quickly is a BIG win... But I'm talking custom
applications developed on demand; I understand this is not what
most people is used to do.
Regards,
Gabriele.
