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.

listen guys, i too was a doubter, i thought "how can it be all that?" and how come i've never before heard about it? and how can i begin to take advantage of it? Well, after reading the osnews article, i decided to check it out, and wow! let me tell you, i was truelly surprised. impressive... this is going to change the way you program, forever! Its definately changed me, and now i'm not only a better programmer, but because of REBOL, i've been promoted at work and doubled my salary!! but you are probably wondering how you can benefit from REBOL. Well, read on my fellow programmer. Here's how this works. All _you_ have to do is tell your fellow programmers about REBOL. They undoubtedly will tell all their friends about REBOL too, and ... well you get the picture. Now, here's where the money comes in. Out of every dollar your friends make programming REBOL, you will personally receive 50 cents. If you have 10 programmer friends, at an average salary of $50k, in the first year, you can bring in $250k! wow! And that's not all! once your programmer friends tell their programmer friends, well you get the picture... $$ for everyone. Start programming in REBOL friends! And i haven't even started to tell you how programming in REBOL can revitalize your sex life... ahh, well, i suppose programmers don't care about that anyway ;-)
