Hi, concerning OOP for Rebol IMO we shouldn't take it to dogmatic. I'm still finding my own useage pattern for Rebol. At the moment I don't think OOP is the key to the Rebol-usage-pattern. I'm focusing on an "object aggregated" pattern and it seems to be quite OK. > Hear hear!

That's right, and the hardest problem IMO is to make the snippets plug-in compatible. I never like libraries, frameworks etc. where you only have an all-or-nothing choice. I want to use stuff selectively. I'm currently trying to achieve the reuse-by-plug-in pattern with the object-aggregated approach. > To do all this with an experimental project sometimes > seems like it could be a pointless waste of time. It depends on. We all have to find the right way to work with Rebol. For this I always create short test-programms to get a feeling for the best way (and if I don't have time or leisure I ask the mailing list ;-)). > But to make good tools, um, we need good VID libraries. > It's a circular dependency. Yes. Starting with a widget collection that is plug-in compatible could be a pragmatic starting point. For this we need one (!) and only one person to coordinate it. > In my view, the single most needed tool for app > development is a good list style.

If you start contact me, as I'm trying out different things at the moment.
