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. The technology provides a ubiquitous, lightweight model of distributed computing that operates across all types of computer systems. REBOL is a true distributed computing architecture. Applications and data become distributed across all devices. REBOL is completely device independent, so it does not matter what operating system or hardware is being used. Every system of the Internet becomes an independent resource that can process and communicate information. The REBOL kernel currently runs on more than 40 different operating systems -- everything from large Sun Solaris servers, to Windows and Macintosh PCs, to Linux, BeOS, down to CE handheld devices. And it is here to revolutionize the Internet, by introducing the X Internet (also called as 'XNet') through the REBOL Internet Operating System (IOS). Read more of what Carl Sassenrath, Rebol Tech's CTO and founder, has to say about the future, Rebol and the race against Microsoft's .NET Services.

They always end-up with some keywords, some modifiers introduced by a slash and block ([]). Would it be really possible to create an entirely different syntax as a dialect? Could I write for example a PostScript dialect that would read pure PostScript, except for an enclosing context? I wrote a Rebol script/dialect for converting plain text into HTML pages and then constucts a site. You can see my site at: http://valley.150m.com/ Every HTML page (except two) were constructed from plain text. The plain text version of each HTML page is on the site as well. Just substitute .txt for .html in the URL in your browser's address. I've also got the script online as well, in my rebol section -- except that it's not easily accessible at the moment! You need to know the name to get it.
