In Praise Of REBOL

Hi REBOLlers, I'm almost into my third year of programming in REBOL. Some of you may recall that I wrote a book about REBOL last year, and writing that book gave me opportunity to study REBOL in some depth, and spend 10-16 hours daily working with REBOL one way or another for close to a year. One might consider me a somewhat seasoned REBOL scripter by now, for whom REBOL has by now become a barely noticable routine coding tool. Even though my exposure to REBOL has been quite extensive, REBOL continues to astound me. The syntax is so neat, and the language is so well integrated that it is really a joy to code in REBOL. I had to take the time off to air my feelings. Sorry for wasting bandwidth. A (random) heartfelt thanks to Carl and his team, before I return to Nedit and continue working on my eval-webobject.r script ;-). Take Care guys, Elan

Hello Elan, I always read your emails carefully, because you are usually correct and concise. And you know a lot. Seriously, I'd like to be more like you. :) Regards, Anton.

Agreed. I had the opportunity recently to write a simple search engine in REBOL for a United Parcel Service web site. Anyone who has seen my code will know I tend to use longer, more descriptive 'words while programming in REBOL (helps to eliminate the need for commenting.) Anyway, a co-worker who uses Perl regularly looked at my finished product and thought it was just an outline!
