Actually, *most* languages go away, whether they play or not. :)

Yup, that's always an issue when you try something new. If it doesn't
work well for the first thing you throw at it, it's easy to write it
off. If this particular issue is the bread and butter of what you
write then, yes, REBOL probably isn't going to help you much. If it's
an edge case though, think about what issues *are* really important to
you in a language overall and evaluate REBOL in that context.

Best of luck with whatever you choose!
