[REBOL] Re: Building scripts

Hi Charles,
> Is this what you mean?
Yes and no.
I like the idea of the library being a db listening on a port. But it should
be only one of the possibilities. It might be just a script of functions -
like a member of a block. Though the library structure could be hiearchical
too if that is a better organisation of reusable things.
So there is an addressing issue - how does one refer to the thing wanted.
Then there is the execution model - when is the code included. I'd like to
be able to build a script - the result being a script with no library
references. I might do that when I'm rebuilding my website/rebsite for lots
of scripts or I might want to do it on demand in response to a CGI request
for the script with some parameterisation. Other possibilities abound.
In summary, I guess my interest is in:
(a) how to address reusable code snippets
(b) how to compose the new script from reusable snippets and the specifics
of the script wanted.
(c) being able to do so for a variety of situations - code is data after
all.
Regards,
Brett.
