Yes, maybe that's why we lost folks like Tim Peters who was with us during
Rebol 1.x days and is awarded python supporter? On the other side, the
question is, if going in the directions where python, php etc. dominates will
make ppl change their minds ...
Look, I would like to see Apache module with Rebol modules, and component
support in Rebol (to simply load /library component to Rebol/Apache e.g.) so
much, but RT has to get some money first.It will come, I am just not sure
when.
Do you know btw. TCL and Python commercial attempts both were not succesfull?
;-) (IIRC ...)
Rebol is OK, we just need it to be more modular, async., faster. Everything is
planned, it will come. While playing with /View for last few weeks I am not
sure any Python, whatever gfx toolkit can offer something similar to View
concept ....
