They're doing a good job. Was recently looking at Racket for metaprogramming to make a language that... does a lot of what Red does. Might just use Red lol. Still the tough decision between it and Racket. I'd <i>think</i> Racket having more people and time behind it (along with IDE) might still make it the best tool.<p>Thoughts?
A little commenting on the reddit version in case anyone is interested. I usually prefer the hacker news crowd though. Does anyone already have an area in mind where they plan to use this?<p>__<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3irjxx/interview_with_nenad_rakocevic_about_red_a_rebol/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3irjxx/intervi...</a>
I'd really like to see a Red <-> Unity or Red <-> JS bridge. Unfortunately there's been no word on a JS bridge since it was suggested for Google's Summer of Code 2014. Android is an interesting but fast-moving target, I think Unity or JS would allow Red much more widespread adoption across platforms.<p>In the meantime I've been tempted to write a microservice in Red using the 0MQ binding [1]. Other bridges and bindings are listed on the contributions page [2].<p>[1]: <a href="http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl/extensions/0MQ/" rel="nofollow">http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl/extensions/0MQ/</a><p>[2]: <a href="http://www.red-lang.org/p/contributions.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.red-lang.org/p/contributions.html</a>
Great interview & overview of Red, Nenad! (if you're reading this)<p>I had a rare opportunity to speak with Nenad a while back in Beijing. Great dude all around, I wish him all the best with the development of Red - hope to see its success!
