| >Rebol was mostly built by one person (Carl Sassenrath) Yes, I had read up about him after learning that he was involved with creating both Amiga OS and then Rebol. Amazing skills. IIRC, I read in some interview of him, that he said he read everything he could lay his hands on, about operating systems, before working on the Amiga OS. Maybe did the same for languages, before working on Rebol. >but has to package the entire interpreter (I think maybe 5 MB) to make an .exe if you have the paid version. Interesting. I had not tried the paid version of Rebol, only the free one, and that too, only for a bit, as a hobby. But did like it a lot even then. >Red can already make executables Yes, I had tried that, and the executables are really small too, just like the Red interpreter/compiler (in one file!) and the Rebol interpreter. >I check up on Red once a month and think 1.0 will be amazing. Likely so. I only hope they do not get off the tracks with their coin-funding stuff, I felt somewhat bad about that, would have preferred if they had gotten funding by more traditional means, but that is just my thoughts. >maybe 5 MB Just did a DIR and checked on my PC, the sizes of Rebol Core and Rebol View (bytes): 303,104 rebol-core-278-3-1.exe
864,256 rebol-view-278-3-1.exe
