I dont think that as evil, but it does'nt seem quite appropriate to me to push
so hard to the popular audience.
I do think that promoting great REBOL programs will help REBOLlion, but I think
that at this stage in the game we would be better off focusing on producing
wonderful CGI's and web tools that appeal to begginning and seasoned
programmers.
Getting ISP's familiar with REBOL help the cause considerably, so request REBOL
on your server, and make sure they know how cool it is. Try to get someone else
to request it too, so they dont think your just weird. Alot of times ISP's can
use programmers to help them, so let them know what your good at. Many people
goto their ISP for recommendations, so treating them really good is usaully
well worth it.
I believe beginners will find REBOL easier to learn than any other language, so
cadering to them will help.
Myself a seasoned programmer, what initially sucked me in to REBOL was those
slick one liners. They really got me. Show those to the non-REBOL programmers
you know and they probably will be amazed as I was.
I had a relatively hard time learning the basics of REBOL since it did'nt
follow the funky conventions that I was accustomed too. Once I was over the
"hump" it got real easy. Now I can easily do amazing things I never even
considered before. Let them know that.
