[REBOL] Re: Tuples - Was Pair! thread

Hi Mark, I agree there as well, but Rebol is some ten years younger than most of the languages you call there. Maybe it just takes time. All of us see the potential of REBOL, yet so few of us release something to attract attention to it. My best shot was Rugby, but it sure is not good enough

Very cool. Wonder when it will be available? I'd much prefer to use Rebol, though without a browser plugin the audience is rather limited which makes it hard to justify using for certain applications. When I mentioned that a browser plugin would give Rebol a great boost, here's the unfortunate

Hi Joel, As a physicist I may add that computer science is in the stone ages compared to other natural sciences. Somewhere round 1500-1600 compared to physics. Wish there was a Newton available! Succes in this context ;-) was meant to evaluate to short-to-midtime survival via commercial success.
