Also check out the successor to Rebol that's under development and seeking to be a "full-stack language," Red: http://www.red-lang.org/
Yes! I can't wait for the next release, which will have GUI support!
I was certain I'd just looked at that page, but there appear to be a lot of new additions I can't recall. But does Red have I/O and network support now?

I suppose I should head over to gitter to ask, but perhaps someone here knows? I tried a search for http and network in the github repo, but didn't find anything that looked like support for slurping/pushing data over the network?

We'd a guy at my last job who really dug Rebol. It always looked very cool to me, like an even-better TCL, or almost-a-Lisp. I've never had time to dig into it, but I'd love to.
I wonder how many amazing programming technologies have been lost or neglected because they didn't draw pretty enough widgets on the screen.
