Isaac,
I had a terrible time learning rebol at first.
But I got a 'full-court' press in terms of
support from folks on this list. Let them
help you and follow their advice.
Rebol 'plays' all right. I've built some very
large websites with rebol and it has paid many
of my bills.
I have programmed or do program in:
Cobol, Basic, Pascal, Assembler, dBaseIII,
C,C++, Object Pascal, perl, python, tcl,
expect, css, html, javascript, DOS commands,
and linux shell script. (At least).
Rebol is the most productive of all of those
above.

I am currently working on a project in
which I am literally coding in rebol and
python at the same time.
Python has much to recommend it, I wouldn't
use it other wise, but I do less typing
with rebol.
Every language that I have programmed in
has it's strength and weaknesses. The
code to do a 'hello world' in python
or perl or rebol is virtually the same.
