Another way to go with this could be to write 10 or so simple utility
functions, and show how they would be written in each of your selected
languages.
Obviously Hello World, then build from there.

I'm considering putting an article together for revJournal.com about
the joys and pitfalls of learning Rev from the perspective of those
who already had proficiency in at least one other language before
giving Rev a try.
The challenge here is that I've been using Rev so long that I'm
close to completely useless for this other than as an editor and to
provide some structure. As I envision it, the meat of this article
would consist of quotes from you folks, or more specifically those
of you who came to Rev not from a HyperCard or other xTalk
background, but those of you who never worked with anything like Rev
before but have shipped projects in other languages like VB, Perl,
JavaScript, ActionScript, etc.
So here's an open invitation to the readers of this list:
Feel free to send me an email describing your story of learning Rev.
Make it as long or as short as you like, and consider including
things like:
- What language(s) you used before trying Rev, and a bit about
your background and experience as a developer
- How you first learned about Rev
- What you liked most about learning Rev
- What you found most annoying about Rev
- Any of the good or bad that's changed over time as you became
more familiar with Rev
And be sure to include this info so I can link back to your site and
hopefully bring a few clicks your way:
- Name
- Title
- Company/organization
- URL
Please send these to: [email protected]
I'm very interested in learning more about how others see Rev, and
think this will be a good read for the visitors at revJournal.com.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to write if you have any questions -
