Hi,
It is a lot of clever programmer
on this list, and the rebol programming concepts
and the rebol shell are the best i ever seen -
but isn't it so, that those
willing ( and capable) to seriously play with rebol
would't have a chance to do it on their own, without
undescribe certain agreements with RT - i' m not
for or contra open source and read Carl's interview
about "open source is teared off ..." - isn't it (ironically) the rebol
that could have the undesirable impact from
a lack of -desirable? - wide rebol acceptance in the
programming wold.? Python is a very good example -
just look at what Jim Hinguin , Mark Hammod, Barry Warsaw
did for Python - and here (most) have to look up at RT to see
if they have done something.. - OK, you could say - "how about you?"-
i dont' bother; - i think that many would'n even think about rebol
if they know it's not open...
Those of you that have definitive insigths about
rebol's development and plans would say - wait,
we have more in the pipeline -!
If i'm wrong i would rather hear it.
Thanks
Sascha.
