> Almost all issues are fixed by the same two people who develop Red. Let's look at the reality by taking all the fix commits (prefixed with "FIX:") on red/red repo in the last 6 m…

Here are a some facts about Red to debunk your attempt at spreading false information, like the "no tests" and "no comments". For the record, we have written a large number of unit…

Not liking Red is understandable. Programming languages, as largely subjective HCI, cannot appeal to every single software developer. Though, that is not a reason to be dishonest, …

> * Apparently, it took it 8 years to get simple (in words of author) G.C. [3] Apparently you didn't look close enough at the history and are making up fake information. Preliminar…

By definition, "official" is what is published by the Red core team, on our official channels. We try to support and encourage the efforts of our community members by linking their…

> Never mind that Red is actually implemented in another abandoned proprietary language[0]! Github's code breakdown by languages for red/red repo: * Red 83.8% * Rebol 15.7% * C 0.2…

> (Are Red/Rebol creators seriously claiming that Clojure's syntax is complex?) Red's author here. I have nothing to do with those websites nor their content. They are not official…

Red's author here. The answer to your question is, I think, that it is just not ready for prime-time yet: * Language and runtime library are at version 0.6.4, so still alpha stage.…

Thanks for those answers. Let me add something for helping the visually impaired who have troubles reading the Red blog. Here is a simple Red script to retrieve information from th…

There are two third-party reference-like (but non-authoritative) documentations that I know of [0][1]. A Red reference documentation for Parse will be available later this year. [0…

The 17 LOC version is still relatively readable for someone fluent in Red/Rebol, despite the tight vertical packing. I could have claimed 14 LOC using the minified version [1], but…

If you want the fully unfolded version you have it there [1]. If you count the JS + CSS lines, then it's about the same size as the Red unfolded version. [1] https://gist.github.co…

Red's author here. In all fairness, for that JS spreadsheet to not look ugly, you need to account for the CSS code too, which is ~35 more lines of normally spaced code. Also, there…

Goran, congrats for this release and the nice website! It is interesting to see where mixing ideas from Red/Rebol and Smalltalk can bring us to. What are the main pros/cons of usin…

A polyfill to Javascript is already planned. https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/Polyfill.m...

Beijinger since a year here. That's the famous "Dragon Tower" [1] where IBM China is having its offices, located north of Beijing nearby the 4th ring and Olympic Park. Franckly, it…

Thank you for reminding us about those great articles! We were using a Ulp-based method only, but Qtxie proceeded with some improvements [1] for close to zero values, as suggested …

Both Rebol and Red use that convention. It sounds weird at first look, but proved to be a relief in practice (no need to remember any specific precedence rule). Though, we plan to …

I have replied about the web site on the top comment. I have noticed that the readability varies greatly across browsers/OS/devices. Anyway, the color scheme and layout we are usin…

You will find in Red everything you liked in Rebol, with some important additions like cross-platform static compilation and system programming abilities [1] through the built-in R…

Same reason for Red aswell as for Rebol. There are many more primitive/literals like that, tuple! [1] for example is used to represent RGB colors (255.0.255), ipv4 addresses (192.1…
