If I understood well, Vanilla was built with CGI in Rebol. But Rebol is
not only a CGI language, but has much power in network protocol
management, GUI system, etc...
CGI can be built with a lot of languages (I write in Python, which is a
very good language for CGI programs...) but I think the power of Rebol
was in a very small client program that someone can download (small
like an HTML file, like a Macromedia Flash file), has a good GUI system
(always very few bytes!), I can create client programs which directly
use HTTP, FTP, TCP/IP, etc... with very few lines of program. Further
more, Rebol interpreter (when it will become even a plug-in? Like a
Macromedia Flash player?!) is very small (think about Python (big!),
think about Java runtime machine (big!)).
