It would be very nice if Rebol ran on the new Amiga:

Call my cynical (I did my stint as an Amiga advocate for a number of
years) but does that page not just seem like the same pile of
enthusiastic idealistic rhetoric that has plagued the Amiga through
it's multiple abortive rebirths?
Words really ARE cheap. IMO there's a hell of a lot of real platforms
right here and now that Rebol out to be running on such as EPOC32!

It is idealistic. But we need ideals, don't we?
It's true about our filesystems. They are an old design.
Simple and easy to implement at the beginning, but lead
to big problems later.
I would like to see those guys succeed and I will help them
as I can. The Virtual Processor code looks good to me for
the same reason as rebol - architecture independance.
But rebol as we know it now is slow at certain tasks.
It would be excellent to use rebol/command to include
VP code libraries. Then you have a mix of assembler and
high-level rebol, but still have platform independance.
Anton.

As far as I know it does or at least View does. Holger did a port.

The Amiga DE is quite amazing, saw Bill McEwen demo it in October, same time
as the new machines where announced.
Cheers,
