If a tool fails the requirements of a problem, no-one
will pursue the tool further. Running on many
platforms still means failure.
REBOL is really good when your main challenge are to
get code to work on numerous platforms and you
obsessed with small codebase and footprint (disk not
memory).
But REBOL appears a tragedy if you need to integrate
with OS features, hardware, or applications. This
limits some important uses in Windows, Mac and other
environments.
All tools have strengths and weaknesses, so what's
new? More than other languages, REBOL is a king of
convenience, so I continue to invest my time.
