what 'security do you mean? General rebol security (sandbox) or ability
to provide you with secure communication means? As fo the latter, Rebol
is some 80% good imo - I mean - you can create secured communication
(AltME, IOS, Rugby), but I think that RT could benefit greatly, if they
would implement what is pointed at in:
http://www.rebol.com/docs/ssl.html#section-5
Escpecially inability to easily handle certificates limits area of usage
gratly. Each browser knows how to show you a certificate. I don't know
what Mozilla's license is, but RT could could implement certificates for
Command SDK, along with OCSP (online certificate status protocol) protocol.
But hey - I am no security guru, so I may be mistaken, but if I am not,
it is a pity no significant changes were made to make /Command more
viable ...
