Of course we have to define "new". And consider that it was new when that was written. :^) It shares syntax with Rebol, 95% of it anyway, but many other "new" languages share syntax with older languages. In any case, there are many new things about it, including being a from-scratch implementation. - Native GUI system (non-native in development for those who want to go that way) driven by a GUI DSL, with full reactivity built in.
- Reactivity and ownership features are built into the core object datatype, so they can be used for more than GUIs.
- System level DSL. Red/System is a C level language, but is a dialect of Red. It compiles directly to machine code, not ASM or C. Cross compilation is built in as well. Again, no external tools needed.
- Android is out of date, but it also requires no JDK or other IDE. So there are at least some things that make it new-ish. |
