some thoughts
fast written.
you have to connect your web-page to the scripts somehow.
this relation is much closer with /view than with html/cgi
works offline too. but smart enough to use the web if connected.
(i think this is a big point for express)
very small, script with action size of text with tags :)
very responsive.
user can edit it (may be a point after a while)
a lot can be explaind better with animation/interaction.
rebol has the size/load-time of pure text,
the animation of flash/whatever
and the intelligence of java.
animated interactive math-course with online-hiscore? can be done now
:)
(well, who mention bignums?)
