ah, remember those times of DBASE and Clipper :-) so, according to you,
what is the reason Rebol is not more popular? Is that lack of
open-source nature, so that new developers don't join us so easily, or
is that the fact, that REBOL is kind of different to "typical"
programmer? (I am not sure here, as Rebol is close to some other
functional languages, at least some say it :-)
