[REBOL] Re: To post or Not? was (Re: 42 (Was Rebol Unity ??))
From: a:none:email:it at: 21-Mar-2002 20:01
I've been using Rebol for about a week now. Although I am new to Rebol, I
have extensive programming experience. I think this is one of the least
intimidating mailing lists around. I`ve already asked and had several
questions answered. Both quickly and politely.
Rebol however is a new approach in so many ways, I think a lot of people
are just trying to figure out why isn`t so confusing, assuming they must be
missing something. It reminds me of Smalltalk methods; Where is the work
getting done.
The language makes too much sense and it throughs you off. I find myself
looking for the confusing parts.
