Ok, I mention it, because Rebol really is a great and short-develop-time
language. I've programmed in C for more than 10 years and know quite a
few other languages, and my experience is, that Rebol is way ahead of
them when programming web-stuff or small utilities (I'm yet to do larger
projects in Rebol). I'm doing web-programming in Rebol with a friend of
mine. He had some doubt about Rebol, when we started, and thought we
should use Perl, PHP or ASP because so many use it. He has no doubt
anymore. I know it look a bit much to learn a whole new language, but
you will discover, that you can do very usefull things in a very short
time. So my advice is to developers to take a look at Rebol, if you can
find a little time.
Btw. I've done a Knowledge Database in Rebol/view. It can save knowledge
under keywords, you can search and send knowledge as E-mails. It has a
full GUI and runs on many platforms (including classic Amiga). If anyone
is interested, mail me privately on Niclasen@bigfoot.com.
That's all folks!
