My translation of Paragraph two: What drew you to this language? The first seductive aspect of rebol is the independance of scripts with regard to the platform of execution. Rebol is the only programming language which offers such a new abstraction for the programmer. It happens daily that I run the same scripts under Windows, Linux and MacOS X. When I develop in Rebol, I do not have to think of or take into account the operating system used. Rebol is equally unbelievably gifted in the domain of data manipulation. I love the dynamic aspects of the language like the contextual evaluation which allows for example the auto-generation of rebol code at script execution time. Its architectural model based on a meta-language, its capacities in the domain of network programming, its innovating aspects such as dialects and especially its functional richness, make it a cutting-edge, innovative development solution. Thanks Graham for the google translation link, it was useful. Anton.
