> Never mind that Red is actually implemented in another abandoned proprietary language[0]!

Github's code breakdown by languages for red/red repo:

* Red 83.8%

* Rebol 15.7%

* C 0.2%

* Visual Basic 0.2%

* Java 0.1%

* Shell 0.0%

Only the compiler is implemented in Rebol, the rest, including the interpreter, the consoles, the GUI system and the whole runtime library are implemented in a mix of Red and Red/System. From top of my head, it's about ~25k LOC for the compiler/toolchain (in Rebol) and ~130k LOC for the REPL and runtime library (in Red and Red/System).

The use of Rebol is only for boostrapping the language. The whole Rebol code part will be dropped after 1.0, and the toolchain rewritten in pure Red.

Cool!
