Maybe above sentence means, that if we update plug-in, it is the way to go, and not to port REBOL to Flash. Some language gurus would have to comment here, but I am not sure, we can easily port REBOL to Flash, JAVA, or other VM, without significant loss. Remember - in order to get View working, you need parser, you need REBOL itself, so you would have to port whole REBOL to particular VM.
Some guys were thinking the other way - making VID to html (css, js, ajax), VID to Flash translator. But then it would fit only for limited subset of language. I don't expect every low level View code to work. But once again - this one is for gurus. But - there is also the third way - once R3 is released, it is 80% being open sourced. All host codes are going to be released. So I expect to R3 to span new platforms much more easily than it was with R2 (dependant on RT only). Of course having R3 itself running on particular platform still does not mean we will have it running in browser. But browser-plug-in should be another strategic component imo. -pekr- -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
