Red Programming Language 0.5.4 released

Just when the world is getting ready for IOT. Might have the potential to become the Javascript for IOT devices for it's low footprint and highly embeddable nature.

Red could potentially become a really good platform for popularizing lisp since it's cross-platform, have a logo-like syntax and is compiled fully to machine code. Someone should write a Go to Red transpiler as it would be a really a good way to increase the amount of libraries Red currently has since Go seems to be a really good language to target due to its consistency and simplicity. My only gripe with it is that it feels too "big".

Red&#x2F;System is interesting - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;static.red-lang.org&#x2F;red-system-specs.html#section-1" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;static.red-lang.org&#x2F;red-system-specs.html#section-1</a> - a similar approach to Lua&#x2F;Terra - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;terralang.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;terralang.org&#x2F;</a>

“For Linux 64-bit distros, you need to install 32-bit supporting libraries.”<p>Does that go for the binary distribution only, or also if you want to compile the source yourself?

The binaries produced by red compiler are really very small. With an IOS and Android target, it can be a very interesting choice to mobile apps. And writing code in red seems very concise. It&#x27;s like having the expressiveness of a functional language and the efficiency of a compiled one.

Red seems like a very ambitious project to be completed by a single developer. I&#x27;ve only briefly looked at the syntax, but it seemed to me that it&#x27;s not very clear. The excess use of brackets is visually confusing.

everything but sliced bread. looks very good.
