[REBOL] Re: Rebol SDK vs Command

Thanks for the reply Gabriele. I don't blame Carl for building a company around a proprietary scripting language. On the contrary, back then I encouraged it. Back in the 1990's, quite a few companies did this, especially during the early years of the web. A fair number were successful. Unfortunately, the window of opportunity closed quickly, and, among other things, RT was a victim of bad timing. Personally I am not concerned about Rebol's future. I would like to see Rebol achieve success on whatever level Carl and team define. For my individual needs, I already deem it a success. Thanks for your many contributions to Rebol and your work on R3. Good luck with the plans. We'll all be keen to see what lies ahead. Ed
