[REBOL] Re: rebol,erlang,yaws

well i'm not gonna be in the office until at
least monday, maybe longer depending on how
I feel (had a little knee operation
yesterday, everything went fine but sort of
tired out) the stuff I've done so far is
pretty simple:
1. I took my asynchronous pluggable
protocols article concept -
http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/17120?
trk=DXRSS_WEBDEV and expanded it (fixed some
of the shoddy code that was for newbies to
follow, all those joins) so that the reb://
protocol has a format of reb://{metadata
comes here}/protocol body comes here. The
metadata in between the second and third /
contains among other things the possibility
of passing a password, if this password
matches a system saved password the code
gets evaluated straight off without going to
the form, I am currently working on a
similar protocol for erlang. Of course the
problem with this is that one opens new
instances of one's script via this method,
although with Erlang this may be soluble.
2. I have been working on trying to get joe
armstrongs client/server tutorial on erlang
and c working together
http://www.sics.se/~joe/tutorials/client_serv
er/client_server.html to go with rebol and
erlang working together. the most reasonable
goal I see is to get gabriele's async-
protocol to work with it.
Somewhat difficult as I this falls under
research not job related, although part of
my job is pretty much research but I do
sometimes feel guilty taking off from my
main goals.
I figure at some point I will hopefully get
an insight (just because I'm one of those
guys who tends to stumble to a particular
place, and then everything goes really
smooth after that), and a combination of 1
and 2 becomes possible.
