Comedy language with no real-life application, like Haskell and Scheme.

Its basically Prolog without the backtracking and with Logo's syntax. I think it hasn't reached critical mass because of the lack of open source.

Time cube meets Cobol. Who gives a fuck the interpreter is only 500kB? Examples look like Borland C++ 1.0 projects and the website is a joke.

The rebol marketing people are full of shit. The claims they
make on their website are often downright lies. (which isn't
that surprising seeing that they're trying to sell something
that's available for free.)


Some examples:


REBOL code is typically much shorter and more readable than
other languages
By other languages they mean x86, arm and mips assembly?


No other development tool is as adept at creating practical
domain specific languages.
Except lisp? (which is even significantly better suited for
that because you don't waste time parsing your dsl at runtime)


You'll find that in many cases REBOL allows you to think
directly in code more easily than you can with pseudo code.
That's because REBOL's high level design is meant to be human
readable and human "thinkable".
The rest of the paragraph is equally ridiculous.

REBOL is not a traditional computer language like C, BASIC,
or Java.
That's right. It's a traditional computer language like lisp, perl or python.

Don't change these.
