Revolutionary Rebol

 [1/3] from: lance::edusei::s1::com at: 10-Aug-2000 17:39


Just new on the scene guys but I have been following Rebol in the press for about 2 years, now, just after it changed its name from Lava (I'll bet not everyone knows that ;-)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Newbie enthusiasm alert<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Anyway, I am just so amazed that there is a language out there that can put a window on the screen in one line that I just had to tell everyone (but you all knew this 6 months ago so maybe I am telling the wrong everyone). Anyway, Rebol Rox !:) Lance.

Hey, I didn't know that. Now I have a new search term for the Web when I'm bored. 8-)

Lance, I recently also hit an increase in excitement. After some R&D&R a week ago where I had quality time to do some new View stuff, I have to admit that I am a born-again Rebol. For example, the end of the Rebol/View Users Guide about Parsing Blocks and Dialects is a nice read and made things grok within me. I have been putting more features and graphics into my test scripts for my new mobile wireless TCP/IP embedded stack at work. Phrases come to mind like "The Joy of Rebol" or Rebol Elegance , as I use Rebol/View. It truly beats the Java AWT, which I have held in pretty high regard. I am further implementing the networked-graphics projects that I had imagined Rebol would let me do a long time ago. The challenge now for all of us is to create content/applications that are as stunning as Rebol/View itself, and are finally now made possible only by Rebol. After filling up my hard drive at work this week with an opaque shovelware "Visual Builder" tool which ate several hundred megabytes of space and I just needed to compile a file, I had to just laugh at it, thinking of the microscopic rebol binary which does so much more so simply than the Visual Builder could ever crank out. Software engineers can become real engineers again with Rebol and not be confined by these Package Prisons. I am trying to squeeze as many hours into my week to do this as I can. I think is-the-time: now to get truly excited and make the future happen!! Steve Shireman The future is now We're all Bozos on this bus(s)--Firesign Theatre [lance--edusei--s1--com] wrote:
