Nick Antonaccio walks through short Rebol code examples to demonstrate the language's simplicity, readability, and low complexity.
This is a run-thru of short Rebol code examples at re-bol.com/short_rebol_examples.r Rebol's entire purpose is to reduce code complexity and bloat. You will not find a development tool that is more productive, simpler to use, or more readable. Various full distributions of the Rebol interpreter run on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, Raspberry Pi, and more than 40 legacy platforms. Typical distributions which include graphics, GUI, network, sound, database, math, compression, email, CGI, security, and other features weigh in at *less than 1 megabyte*. Core language distributions are much smaller. Rebol has been used in a wide variety of commercial production environments for more than 15 years. The newest versions of Rebol are completely free and open source (Apache license).What people say. Recommended as a demonstration of Rebol's extreme simplicity and productivity.
