Hi Terry,
TB> Ok. Obviously you wouldn't create performance based applications in .R, (no

TB> Memory Managers
TB> FireWalls
TB> Burners (An api to the drive?)
TB> Data Recovery
TB> Anti-Virus
TB> OCR

Like most things, it depends. :) I think there are apps where REBOL
has lots of leverage and others where it doesn't. You also have to
consider what other factors must be taken into account. For instance,
what is the development timeframe, what is the *required* performance,
how important is portability, etc.
My take on it is that you have to look at each particular
project and look at all the options for building it before judging
whether a particular tool is suitable or not.
