AI class

This is great. I convinced my ucsd cognitive science proffessor to let me use rebol instead
of c. If I convert his libraries, he may even be interested in using it for the class
(little does he know that most of his library functionality is built into rebol!). I
think he is looking for alternatives to c since most people in cogsci do not have programming
backgrounds and have trouble with details of c such as i/o. Prof would rather have students
focusing on concepts of class rather than details of programming language.
I really think rebol should attack educational market. If they don't, some other language
will take hold (such as python).
Also great that rebol manual was just released. Now I plan to study this language in
detail...

Cool!
When I have nothing better to do (ha, ha, ha) I'm hoping to convert
to REBOL an expert system shell I wrote several years ago in Lisp.

He's using c instead of Lisp (or Prolog) to teach AI???

...or Java or c or c++ or (shudder, cringe) c-octothorpe!

They used to use lisp...but for some reason switched to c. Some of the examples he was
showing on the board were in lisp...but I guess we are not using it. He had to write
some c libraries to make up for stuff that was built into lisp.
