Is it living in Alaska that gave you such persistence and ingenuity?
I'm more than impressed.
Thanks for taking the time to tell us.
On the portability front, RT has been finding it difficult to keep up
for the last couple of years. The versions for many platforms are stuck
at Core 2.5.1. I think that Carl recognised the problem and has adopted
a different design for Rebol 3 to ease porting Rebol. (You may want to
take a look at his slides from the recent DevCon -
http://www.rebol.com/notes/devcon07-carl.zip )
From my point of view, at the moment RT still sees Windows as its main
platform based, I presume, on current installed PC numbers. Linux and
Mac OS X come a distant second, even though I believe they are more
popular with the type of developers who are likely to adopt Rebol.
(Windows developers seem to develop exclusively for Windows, developers
who use other systems appear more likely to be interested in
cross-platform).
Regards
Peter
