REBOL a prototype language?

Hi list
I have this conceptual question: is REBOL to be considered
a prototype language such as Self, Ion or Prothon, for instance?

Yes (as I understand the definition).

Question: Does REBOL use prototype based objects?
Answer: I can confirm that REBOL is prototype-based.
Reason: I used to hang out with David Unger, the creator of Self. I liked
the elegance of his object model. After all, I often create singular
instance objects, so in REBOL (as in Self) a class need not be defined.

Carl
I was really in need of this information
since I was not sure about it.
Despite Gregg's opinion nobody's better than you
to make things clear.
I am about to write something on the topic
to my forum (www.nobrenet.com/rebolbrasil)
and now I am sure I won't be exagerating
if I point REBOL to be the best prototype
language ever :)
Many Thanks
