	REBOL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		First released in 1997, REBOL was designed over a 20 year period by Carl Sassenrath, the architect and primary developer of AmigaOS, based on his study of denotational semantics and utilizing concepts from the Lisp, Forth, and Logo programming languages.
		REBOL is not a pure functional language; imperative programming is supported by using functions with side-effects; nor is it a pure object-oriented language, having non-object datatypes and support for other programming paradigms.
		REBOL extends the range of datatypes identified by their lexical form to include values such as email addresses (name@host.dom), URLs (http://www.rebol.com), markup tags (, ), money values ($100.00, USD$25.25), dates (30-Nov-2005, 1-Dec-2005/10:30-7:00), times (12:00:00), coordinate pairs (5x5), tuples (255.255.255, 192.168.100.1), and words (how are you?).

	Interview: Carl Sassenrath on REBOL - OSNews.com
		REBOL is a powerful software technology (ever thought that you could write a full blown GUI Instant Messenger in only 7 kb of source code?) designed from the ground up to enable a new era of distributed Internet applications.
		REBOL was designed for distributed computing, providing not only the semantic exchange of information (data and metadata), but also the interpretation of that data.
		REBOL applications are only a few pages of text, and users can quickly modify and extend existing applications to meet their needs.

	Rebol Programming For The Absolute Beginner
		Rebol converts that syntax to the appropriate operating system format, so that your code can be written once and used on every operating system, without alteration.
		Rebol does many things in as "high level" a way as can be expected - as close to speaking to the computer in human English as is currently possible, but it still requires specific syntax and structure.
		Rebol includes a rich set of words and functional structures that help you evaluate conditions in all types of situations, and with all types of data.

	How is REBOL Different?
		Instead, REBOL was designed to solve one of the fundamental problems in computing: the exchange and interpretation of information between distributed computer systems.
		REBOL accomplishes this through the concept of relative expressions (which is how REBOL got its name as the Relative Expression Based Object Language).
		For example, REBOL can not only create a graphical user interface in one line of code, but it can also send that line as data to be processed and displayed on other Internet computer systems around the world.

	Joe Marshall on Rebol 1.0
		REBOL has been characterized as `like Lisp but without the parenthesis' or `the result of Ousterhout meeting Sussman in a dark alley'.
		Like Lisp, REBOL uses prefix notation; however, REBOL's notation is unbracketed, making it much closer to the `Polish notation' developed by Jan Lukasiewicz in the 1920's.
		A `block' in REBOL is indicated by square brackets around an expression or series of expressions.

	ONLamp.com -- Introducing REBOL with Amazingly Easy GUI Programming
		REBOL doesn't have a visual layout tool built in, but for those of you that think you can't live without a graphical layout editor, I moved to REBOL after 11 years as a VB specialist, for whatever that's worth.
		REBOL is terrific for data-driven work, whether you're building VID layouts as we are here, or in a Web context.
		With REBOL Technologies SDK you can also turn your scripts into standalone EXEs requiring no installation, at the cost of binding them to the REBOL interpreter-meaning they are about the same size as REBOL itself.

	J Tutorials and Rebol
		If I had to summarize Rebol's problem domain, I would say that it tackles the problem of displaying distributed information in the same way as I would describe J's domain by saying that J tackles the problem of effective description of algorithms, particularly those which involve vectors and matricies.
		As the focus of Rebol is the sharing of distributed information, the plusses relate to the effectiveness with which this can be done, and the minusus (at least it seems so to me as of now) involve the dangers inherent in sharing distributed information (viri, worms,...).
		It is evident from the discussion among `Rebol People' that (very much like J people) they are very good willed, and quite aware of the potential for problems when information is shared via procedures and processes as well as data sets.

	A List Apart: Articles: Simple Content Management
		REBOL may be new to many of you, so I’d suggest a quick look at some of the excellent language primers on their site, though you may find it just as easy to learn by example.
		To begin the REBOL script, first we need to create a text file called content-management.r (or anything ending in.r).
		Notes on the rules: In REBOL, a parse rule not only describes the structure of a string, it also instructs the program what to do with the extracted values – these instructions are stored in the parentheses.

	ITworld.com - REBOL rolls forward
		REBOL is a proprietary scripting computing language invented by Carl Sassenrath, founder and CTO of REBOL Technologies of northern California.
		REBOL's executives all have deep industry experience, but Sassenrath is the celebrity, mostly for his design and implementation of the Amiga OS.
		Technically, then, REBOL is a hit: it has happy users, enough vitality to grow according to their needs, plenty of real-life applications, an interesting syntax, and even its own magazine, REBOL Forces.

		But, to answer your question, REBOL is actually much more than a scripting language and it is also much more powerful in its design than other scripting language, or even most programming languages.
		REBOL is very scalable to millions of devices for the exchange of information whether it is data or code.
		In the end, REBOL truly unifies the direction and focus of the computing world at a time when so many other forces are ripping it apart.
