#13God! Enough! At this point any announcement with "blockchain" should turn any informed person off of the whole project. Checking out Red was on my roadmap and now it's firmly not.
You certainly should check Red anyway. It is still the same language as yesterday, before any "blockchain" announcement. No buzzword can change the great design.

Just because you hate blockchain tech doesn't mean the rest of the world should pass up free money.
Also, "any informed person" is the No True Scotsman fallacy. I'm informed and I don't feel negatively just because it's blockchain.

What stupid comment is this ? Red is an amazing tool for creating DSL it's a logical that it goes this path.

I'd buy into that Initial Crab Offering.

Don't be so narrow-minded.
Buzzwords and cryptocurrencies speculations aside, Red is really worth checking, at least if you're a language enthusiast and is interested in Forth and Lisp family.
And here blockchain is nothing more than an innovative (yet rather controversial, I agree, since I'm skeptical too) model to sustain programming language community and gain a solid ground for core developing team.

#19I like Red, and I have been following it. I dabbled with Rebol back in my Amiga days, but not much. Red is a nice batteries-included, small, Lispy-forth language in my perception.
I am sticking with my Lisps (SBCL, Racket, Emacs Lisp, Shen, and Wasp Lisp) for now, and my beloved J [2], but I love the size of the whole Red/Red System environment. I think it is going to take off.
I know Naned, the man behind Red, was CEO of Fullstack Technologies, and it was based in Beijing after an initial $500k VC funding round from Chinese VCs [1].
Curiously, I predict a bunch of conspiracy theory people to relate Red = Communism, Blockchain/ICO/Coins = Socialized currency, and a decentralized internet running DAPPs to dilute the USA's currernt juice in the internet all with a connection back to China, but I am ecstatic about a distributed internet that cannot be censored like it is in China, or in less obvious ways in the US. I missed the Bitcoin buy-in when it was selling at $200-something, but I always knew in my readings that the blockchain is its secret sauce. Aside from the energy expenditure, I like the concept. How can it, or can it become energy efficient, but still stay difficult to mine to work out both ways? Seems like it will not be possible. You cannot make it easy for everyone, and hard enough to have value...

I recently got interested in J too by the way, how do you use this language and Lisps in your work?
