Hi David: I'll agree that sometimes it seems that RT has "appeared"
to market more than it can deliver, and bugs seem to persist, but
even if rebol will not work for this particular project, it is
likely that you will find other uses for it.
I've actually found that rebol is great for "prototyping" and
testing algorithms, which I have then implemented in C/C++, and
learning rebol has actually improved my "C" coding.
Now if I can just find a way to write a C preprocessor macro to
express
mybigobj->smallerobj->somemethod
as
mybigobj/smallerobj/somemethod
