> And, in the end, it still doesn't help the long line where you have no idea what is a function call, and what is just an argument.

And still people have no issue reading and writing code in Rebol and Red. And still 10 non-core team programmers provided a quarter of the bugfixes in last 6 months... It's either magic, or it's you trying desperately to paint a bad picture of Red, without any interest at all in understanding it.

> > That gives a 4.83% result...so about 5000 times more than your claim > Wow. You've really, really "put my extravagant claims to the test". Well, you've actually just reinforced my words. A tiny fraction of all bugfixes ever get tests.

And yet, more dishonesty again... You've picked up the intermediary value in my demonstration above, and not the final one: 27.3%. So 27% is a "tiny fraction"? Makes sense. You are that desperate now to resort to cheap tricks like that?

> Yup. The person accusing me of being arrogant and condescending goes to great lengths to find out who I am and revert to ad hominem attacks.

Googling your HN id is certainly not "going to great lengths", and I was curious about your background. From your first post in this HN thread, you have clearly shown aggressivity, misrepresentation, wilful ignorance and dishonesty towards Red project, as I have proved several times, like this "0.001%" of bugfixes having tests, while the reality is 27.3%. Where's your apology for posting fake information on HN clearly meant to mislead readers?

> A real class act you are.

That is left for the crowd to judge, as is your performance in this whole thread. You have missed a good opportunity to actually have an interesting discussion about a new language that is attempting to go in a different direction. And surely, we are far from perfect, but that does not warrant such misplaced anger from the start towards us and our work.

Case closed for me.
