Hey!!
This is really exciting Carl!
And and I can just barely imagine how much work
this must be to set this all up.
Here's a thought.... something that programmers
might pay some money for...
The ability to compile Rebol binaries into
C, C++ etc. It would extend legacy code
with all of rebols features. I'd sure
like to be able to do that with either
Windows or Linux Platforms.
I could foresee testing code with the interpreter,
with all of those advantages, then compiling it
into an executable, with those advantages.
Best of both worlds, y'think?
Keep up the good work!
Regards
Tim
