Well, RT says that REBOL is intended for programming "in the small". I know
Maarten has mentioned that they've built a substantial system with it (16
KLOC I think he said) but wouldn't it be better to compare systems based on
functionality, rather than the amount of code required? Less code is better,
right? :)
I'm workingon a project now that lets users access remote hardware, view and
pull data from those devices, and graphically annotate the data (for
collaboration via IOS). It uses Rugby and pdf-maker, but the main server
piece is only about 200 lines and the main app itself is only about 1,000.
Hardly "heavy", but very funtional.

built using rebol interface? I can use Rebol only for some specific
operations! >>
What about the View Desktop?
