Hi Ed, EOC> Can anyone describe any examples of common applications/scripts that EOC> are expected to benefit from rebcode?
It's one of those "when you need it, you'll know it" things. :\ Probably only 5% of REBOLers will ever need to use it and, of those, they will only use it 1% of the time. For certain things, though, it will make a big difference. For example, Cyphre wrote a convolution engine demo. That's a fairly specialized tool, but could be very important to some people. Something with slightly broader appeal are the bit twiddling ops (shift, rotate, etc.). With those--and you can wrap them for easy access from REBOL--you can implement algorithms that would otherwise be a real pain (and very slow). So, things it's good for: Image access and modification. Series access and modification (e.g. if doing heavy access in loops). Bit twiddling. Fast math that only uses integer and decimal values. -- Gregg -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
