Yes > Then much discussion about rebol's missing capabilities is moot as then rebol can become a GPL just like python (actually much better) with all of rebols superior's methodology. > > want rebol to be the glue in your IT infrastructure, then shell acess does that. Yes > These two features alone make REBOL several times more usefull as a technology and industry-wide acceptable. Yes > IMHO they would let REBOL, as a platform, soar on its own with less pressure on RT to do everything. Yes > Direction of rebol comes by every few weeks and we've all stated our opinions, but I think that rebol's core weekness as a coding platform is its closed-in nature. The moment you want to do something that demands high-speed, guaranteed rates or actual complete and unbridled integration to external processes, then rebol USUALLY comes short. Yes > yess that is not rebol's primary vision (is it meant as a messaging language), but when every else does the above and you can't then it becomes a cause for concern for any pipeline/infrastructure IT manager. Yes > I also wonder why RT never packaged rebol AS a .dll or .so you can use IT INSIDE binary apps... so that you use rebol's integrated messaging capabilities within an application. Yes > this could yet broaden rebol's approach as a macro/scripting language (like a much better VB or arexx script engine).
