I agree with you David.

Many programming languages have this problem. They seems like
"experimental" languages, but almost nothing exists for real-world.

The question is: why this thing happen?

Maybe because big magazine don't talk about it, since Rebol and Carl
are not as big as IBM, Sun, etc...
Maybe because Rebol is really different from traditional programming
languages (imperative languages, that many people use).

Or... ???

When I asked to the company where I work "Let's use Rebol, since we
will get many benefits! Not only Rebol, but for specific tasks"  they
said "No, thank you, we already use ColdFusion and Delphi"... ??? They
didn't asked me "what is Rebol?" - "What can we do with it?" - They
said: "Rebol is a small company, too small, and not reliable" -

(I don't report all the discussion !)

So, I think in such poll, I could add "Create more applications for
the real-world (GUI)".

Or... "Create examples and templates for the real-world (GUI)".

What do you think about it?
