[REBOL] Re: Rebol programs

From: greggirwin:mindspring at: 19-Mar-2002 10:31

<< does anybody know someone who created (single persons or companies) heavy programs in Rebol? For heavy programs I intend big programs, not small utilities/games like mines, some email readers, etc... >> 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. << Another question: why "www.rebol.com" has not a full-featured site built using rebol interface? I can use Rebol only for some specific operations! >> What about the View Desktop? --Gregg
