If it were expressed as a Rebol > dialect, I'd use something like: > Panel [ > Button/System "Cancel" 'Cancel > Button/System "OK 'OK > ] > Which one would you prefer? :) I wouldn't start with such kinda "peas and apples" comparisons unless you discuss the various possibilities of REBOL and C#. One could imagine even better REBOL dialects and even worse C# stuff. (Why not go down to IL level in C#? That would look far more ugly, I'm sure!) On the opposite, a bad REBOL dialect could look just as bad as the C# code, whereas with XAML you could just write: <Canvas ID="root" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/xaml";> <Button>Cancel</Button> <Button>OK</Button> </Canvas> -- Best regards, Andreas -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
