[REBOL] cgi

hello, I just discovered Rebol last week and have become a little obsessed with its simple beauty. Hence I want to re-write all my perl scripts and bin it for good. I've been desperately tring to get rebol cgi support set up on my macintosh and a linux box. To no avail. I've never had to

Hi everyone! I'm probablyway to late with this post, since I don't have daily internet access anymore, nor daily Rebol exposure, it's great to see the list so alive! All those new users, even from India, hurrah! But anyway, on to the problem: William wrote: My username is

[REBOL] Encouraging functional programming Re:

Hi John, REBOL gets a stack overflow, yet the obvious `imperative' version of the program produces the correct answer. If you consider a data set of `dozens' or `hundreds' of elements to be the limits of `reasonable', then, yes, REBOL does just fine. I routinely use datasets of `thousands' or

[REBOL] Encouraging functional programming Re:(2)

Was it Ingo who mentioned that tail recursion had been removed from the current REBOL implementation and asked when it would be returned? That should take care of the stack overflow problem. The problem is a result of an incomplete implementation of REBOL (missing tail recursion) and I don't

Hi Andrew, I had written: Which part surprises you? to which you replied That Interface/Test returns the value of 't! In C++, this wouldn't work, as the function 'Test_Implementation wouldn't be able to find 't in 'Interface. It's disturbing to me as a C++ programmer, but viewing it as a

[REBOL] Q on Array of Objects

I am considering writing an app that would create several hundred or a few thousand copies of a single object. One way to keep track of them is to use an array. A script that tests this syntax is below along with a run which does a "print mold" on the array. It appears that the

[REBOL] Encouraging functional programming Re:(3)

My understanding was that tail recursion ( or its optimized implementation ) gives a (properly written) recursive program the efficiency of an iterative program. Thus it is a very desirable capability to build into a language which is intended to use a lot of recursive program structures.
