I thought that a good post, especially as Boris had been asking the
list for advice. A useful way to say thankyou for the feedback he'd
received, as even though REBOL wasn't chosen, it's feedback in
return. Think of it as a comparison of REBOL and Java (and other
software) and not as a post to start a discussion about Java.
People may look at REBOL and try to work out what useful things they
can do with it, while others like Boris will have a particular need
and look at REBOL to see if it's the right tool for the job. There's
more likely to be success with the first scenario than the second at
the moment, but evaluations like Boris's may help to up the hit rate
for the second if notice is taken of them.
