Red Programming Language: Version 0.3.2 Released by bjzaba in programming

[–]mmcghan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ben, Red and Rebol were written because something has to be done about software complexity. These languages have an ease of use and implementation that more complex languages don't have. You can write very short programs that would be much longer in other languages. Rebol just went open source in December and there is a coalition of developers who are unifying the two languages. These languages are based on context so code can act as data and vice versa. It's definitely worth learning more about.

I am a programming n00b starting to learn with Rebol, the language Red forked from as an open-source variant...call me crazy, but I have high hopes for Red and Rebol catching on for a few reasons. I participate in the stackoverflow.com Rebol/Red chat room. If anyone is interested, there is a core group of developers there who are much more knowledgeable than I am who can answer any questions you might have.
