[REBOL] Re: Slashdot REBOL mention

Hi,
Yes, oh yes! You see Perl IS A DIALECT (of C). ;-) (I just noticed two
reasons for dialecting, the other being to MINIMIZE code) If you do enough
with Perl you will find that you soon speak (code) in a dialect no one else
can speak (code) thereby it has gained its fame as UNREADABLE code. ;-) The
difference is that REBOL is touted for READABLE code, so its developers (the
purists) emphasize READABLE code. Whereas Perl is touted for "quick code"
something that never was nor ever will be meant to use again, but to throw
away, & rewright when you move to another company, or when you change
developers. So its developers tout its quickness to code (or in other words
less typing).
Enjoy!!
Ammon
