What "support" are we talking about here? Marketing/customer relations wise, RT was imo a bad company in the past. Lot's of missed oportunities imo. So - from that perspective, R3 model is very right and it should help to spread REBOL, because community of users and customers might be involved. Besided that - who said support for R2 is dropped? I just say that we should not expect some real development to happen for R2. It even does NOT make any sense. R3 is still REBOL, just based upon much better technological foundation, R2's model can't be easily extended .... > > No time to help these days - unless by writing extensions. > you see? And that is so with most of us, REBOL supporters - we have our main jobs. OTOH as for me, I don't want ppl to join REBOL just because it is, or is not open-source. I hope ppl will see that REBOL can be a good tool too ... > I DO hope R3 lives up to the hype, but I fear it won't be really usable for > another couple of years at the earliest. > And why do you think so? R2 happened in a half a year after R1 "fiasco". R3 can run scripts already, VID can be used with some limits. It is months, surely not years. For R3 to live fully to its fully open model, maybe one year, but as for direct R2 comparison, we will be there very soon ...
