[REBOL] Re: General REBOL questions
From: kemp:extelligence at: 16-Jun-2002 10:59
Great questions, I've been wondering these myself.
Here's a few more:
1. What's the execution model for Rebol? It seems to combine the best of my
favorite HLL (Smalltalk) and LLL (FORTH), and I'm wondering if it's
basically stack-based as in FORTH? Any docs on this? Any docs on in-memory
structures, esp 'image ?
2. Is it purely interpreted, or runtime-compiled (Q1 above may answer this
if FORTH is indeed the answer :)
3. To protect commercial applications, can Rebol scripts be precompiled or
otherwise obfuscated?
4. Is there/could there be a 'Rebol Web Start' (I'm sure that true 'Rebols'
would prefer 'Rebol NET Start' here!) to ease the initial deployment of web
applications?
5. Any thoughts of Rebol's use in K-12 education? From language, ease of
use, and deployment?
Thanks,
Kemp
