[REBOL] Re: Need help for justification of using REBOL as dev language

Hi list:
I'm very grateful to all for the arguments provided as answer to my request.
It will help me a lot !!!
I particularly liked the analysis of Ryan and Brett. I have found many args
in the J. K. Ousterhout's article too:
http://dev.scriptics.com/people/john.ousterhout/scripting.html
About this article: a very interesting comparison is given by the figure 1 -
level/typing -
Has anybody any idea where to situate REBOL on the graph ? I assume it
should be similar to Tcl/Perl ?
Perhaps there are any folk at RT who could tell me what the range of
instructions/statement for REBOL is ?
Great too are the code comparison Tcl - Java - C++ . This example is easy to
translate in REBOL and provides some difficult to refute arg about the
compacity of REBOL.
I just don't fully agree with the author's thought about OO programming, but
that's not the point right here - perhaps another time ...
Well I'll get to work and write my justification now :-( ... when duty calls
...
Thanks again to all for the great job !!!
CU,
chr==
