REBOL Programming Language

Carl Sassenrath was one of the people responsible for bringing the Amiga to life back in the day. He created the REBOL programming language 10 years ago. So I’ve known about REBOL for some time, but recently gained interest in it. Carl and his team are working on a new version of REBOL, named REBOL 3. I have been following REBOL news, I’m on the REBOL mailing list and I am part of the AltMe REBOL community. AltMe is software written in REBOL that is used for collaboration.

I started playing around with it a couple months ago, but I was using my time for Lisp. You can do some really cool things with it quickly though. It seems to be Lisp oriented actually. I like the community as well. So I’ve decided to buckle down and learn the language. I have started reading this tutorial on REBOL. It should be fun and I hope to report more about it here.
