I get to write good code fast: REBOL matches the sort of things I want to do. Like, this morning, someone asked me for some code that would convert a pile of emailed HTML forms (the sort you get if you set HTML form action to mailto: -- a sort of cheap way of using HTML forms while avoiding serverside CGI processing) to a CSV file with all the HTML fields as column headings. And, no, the emails might not all have the same fields, or in the same order; could I sort of normalise them on the fly, please? It took just over an hour in REBOL because REBOL was almost devised for a cut'n'parse job like that. REBOL is the tool I reach for if I need to do something fast.
