Great work — the functional spin on top of Rebol's clean syntax is really nicely done!

Any chance you'll be adding something like the parse function? The ability to have domain-specific dialects was one of the best things about Rebol and would be great to see in a modern language.

And speaking of functions, could you make the "Function Reference" that's on the homepage, be available on a standalone page too? It's a very useful reference and would be great to access it easily. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your nice words! :)

Regarding 'parse', it's absolutely in my to-do list. Although, already, the language by its very nature has the means to do it (even you, as a user, could) - but I have to prioritize things.

Regarding reference, it's obviously a work-in-progress. However, what you mean is probably already available @ GitHub Wiki: https://github.com/arturo-lang/arturo/wiki

Have a look :)

Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Anything is welcome, ideas or suggestions :)

FYI, I've just published the first complete reference (language reference + full library reference, with tons of examples): https://github.com/arturo-lang/arturo/wiki

Let me know what you think! :)
