Yes I imagend that's the bit I want to hear..
why great?
what changes
etc..
Has any one articulated this yet ?
Rebol has had me hooked since last September. I have all kinds of plans for
it, though someitmes it feesl the other way around. I am not sure if it is
Rebolor rather thaifts in my balance of thinknig..
more fun
more experimentally and experientially actove than before.
Somethign seems to hapepn quickyl one I even try out as tiny idea with Rebol
to get the conceptual juice flowing. Only propblme now is my ideas aer way
ahead fo my skills. I begin to suspect
a: dillusion
b: re-inventing bycicles in siberia when what I really need is horse or a
yurt
ie: it has got me wondering more deeply about architectures and network
processes. So yesterday I dove into an amazing book called:
Illustrating Evolutionary Computation with Mathematica
by Christian Jacob.
It's part of an online tutorial glittering under the bannerof 'Evolvica'
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~jacob/Evolvica/
Mathematica is nice, but not essential to appreciate whate he's doing. A
free MathReader tool will suffice, plus there's Java examples and some other
great illustrations. The math and biology are way beyond my present skills,
but despite that, I feel am still 'getting' a lot of it. And I suspect
growth and adaptation of Rebol-based communications may be very close to
opening up similar behaviors . So then I wonder really what is the
architectural design for REBOL.. and what direction[s] is it headed?
I am ramblling and reaching...
Does this make sense to anyone?
