Hi All,
Just thought I'd pass along an interesting
opinion piece on future computer languages.
Pulled from slashdot earlier today.

Great article (as his usually are). I can think of at least one
langugae that seems to fit with his statements. ;)

It reminds me of Lisp too, but I'd miss macros.

The philosophers of the Middle Ages demonstrated both that the Earth did
not exist and also that it was flat. Today they are still arguing about
whether the world exists, but they no longer dispute about whether it is
flat.

Here is another interesting article from Paul Graham with code
comparison between lots of languages like C++, Python, Ruby, and of
course REBOL :

Hi Alan,

REBOL doesn't need macros; it can do much better; I'm sure he
wouldn't miss them at all, on the contrary, after learning REBOL
he'd find LISP macros an ugly hack. (IMHO)
(Feel free to forward this to him if you wish.)
Regards,
Gabriele.

Then you should inform him, that Rebol does everything that are Lisp macros
for.
