http://www.ross-gill.com/r/color-code.html- should now work with 
R3

http://www.ross-gill.com/r/r3webform.html<- R3 version of alt-webform 
(see 9/21)

Chris:I tried color-code.r with Rebol3 and did not work ?

Anything in  particular?

An error, etc?  I've been using it with 2.100.94.2.5

I just released what I think is very the first R3 specific script 
on rebol.org  :-)


A BNF grammar converter for rebol:  http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=bnf-compiler.r

Fully documented within the source (more than 4kb of text).

It has a few little cool grammar processing features and some interesting 
things it *can't* do.

R2 update has been scheduled - read the following message carefully.

Did altme eat the message?

We need to update R2, however, I do not want to make this a complicated, 
time consuming release... because I do not have extra time (between 
R3 and Website changes.)


The top goals are to remove the restrictions on the special features 
in View, and also to add SSL, if at all possible in a short period 
of time.


The goal IS NOT to fix every little bug... because that would delay 
the release for a year... or more.

However, if we can manage to get a new R2 out, then I suggest we 
start scheduling regular monthly releases, if only just to fix a 
few bugs or for BrianH and other pending enhancements.

DO NOT discuss this R2 topic here. If someone can post a note in 
the proper group for discussion, I'll answer questions there.

Great stuff!

Wow! what is this power-mezz .. there seems to be really really cool 
stuff inthere??

(Replies in "Ann-reply" please)

Jaime has agreed today to change the license for BEER from GPL to 
BSD to allow it to be ported to R3.  Either he or I will post the 
code with the new license.

Slowly extending our "Rebol development studio". We have added a 
twitter page:http:// www.rm-asset.com/twitter

I'm having difficulty reading the text .. the font is too small for 
me.  Yes, i can change the font size ...

Rebol development studio
? What is this?

This is me doing the Rebol soft sell to a captive audience :)

Hi Doctor Graham Chiu,  It is nice to put a face to a username!!! 
 Wish you every success with EMR!!!

http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=metadb.r- Quick and dirty 
associative database (R2 only):

	write meta/Chris/first "Christopher"
	read meta/Chris/last
	person: [user "Chris" first "Christopher" last "Ross-Gill"]
	write meta/(person/user)/last person/last
	write meta/Chris/added now
	read meta/(person/user)

Hmm, example faulty, should read:

	write meta/Chris/first "Christopher"
	read meta/Chris/first
	person: [user "Chris" first "Christopher" last "Ross-Gill"]
	write meta/(person/user)/last person/last
	write meta/Chris/added now
	read meta/(person/user)

R3 version: http://ross-gill.com/r/r3metadb.r


Only caveat is that you are limited to writing strings, blocks and 
binary, so you can do the following in R2 but not R3:

	write meta/Chris/home http://www.ross-gill.com/

Tweet: Carl is asking for any urgent bug fixes needed for 2.7.8

From a suggestion by Christopher Ross-Gill (thanks Chris!):


-- REBOL.org's RSS feed now has the most recent posts from the AltME 
REBOL3 world

-- You can also see the most recent posts on the website, via this

By default, both show the most recent 100 posts. You can set your 
own value between 0 and 255 -- more details below.

The InfoQ-QCon Beijing 2010 conference will be held next week. I 
have two sessions: one is CEP, the other is REBOL. 
* 2010-4-23/16:30 (By Jerry Tsai) A Glance at REBOL

* 2010-4-25/13:10 (By Jerry Tsai) An Introduction to CEP (Complex 
Event Processing) . BTW, my CEP system was implemented in REBOL.

Check it out here: http://www.qconbeijing.com/agenda.html

what is complex event processing?

I'm curious as just implement the most flexible and advanced, yet 
simple to use event stream system I've ever used.

[CEP-:-Wiki]  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_event_processing

aaaahh ok.  a completely different mindset on the meaning of  "Event" 
 :-)

still as I read about it, it sems my system functions following the 
general principles in what I read.

Recently, people talk about CEP a lot. Microsoft will release their 
CEP server "StreamInsight" soon.

Might be a new buzzword. Who knows?

WG! -> Ann-Reply

Since there is a lot of silence in recent days on this AltME world 
Pekr persaded me to put one announce here:


I'd like to announce important milestone in my personal(occasional 
weekend hobby ;)) JITteR project developement that has just been 
achieved yesterday.


JITteR is lightweight REBOL dialect that enables running JIT compiled 
functions directly from REBOL interpreter.

Such JIT compiled functions can be tens to hundreds times faster 
than REBOL equivalent code.

Usage of JITter is aimed on graphics routines, compressors, codecs, 
generators, number crunching algorithms and various other time-critical 
programming tasks.

The main idea of this project is not to clone all REBOL functionality 
but maintain compatibility in sense of JITteR -> REBOL way so any 
code written in JITteR can be executed(fallback) as plain REBOL function! 
without the need of touching the code.


Currently only REBOL2 version is being tested and x86 CPUs are supported. 
But R3 and other CPUs will be added in later stages of the developement.

Licensing is not yet decided (until the project reach full Alpha 
stage). But the code will be definitely free for non-commercial usage.


Since this release is only 'internal' I hope this announces doesn't 
sound to much 'vaporwarish' :-)


Alpha release is planned to be released to closed group of developers 
in ~2 months.
Feel free to leave any feedback in the Ann-Reply group or PM me.

project features log:


JITteR v0.1.23.3.1 (pre-Alpha version internal release) - 16-May-2010

---------------------------------------------------------------------

- currently only x86 32-bit CPU assembly supported (other CPUs planned 
in Beta stage)

- datatype support: image!, binary!, string!, integer!, decimal!, 
char!, logic! 
- path! lookup support on binary!, image!, string! byte arrays
- math operations: +,-,*,/,<,>,<=,>=,=
- boolean operations: NOT, AND, OR, XOR
- parens support: REBOL-like code evaluation precedence

- supported keywords (REBOL compatible): APPLY(currently on JITTer 
functions only), LOOP, REPEAT, WHILE, UNTIL, BREAK, IF, EITHER, PICK, 
POKE

I can't wait to see a release!

Great !!!

for commercial applications, will the pricing be aimed at big companies?

Of course, Cyphre wants to become a buillionare with this.

then he will have enough soup for the rest of his life

Sounds great Cyphre.

Cyphre, what you are doing is amazing

I just created the first Rebol-3 Extension using D (www.digitalmars.com)!

Why is this cool? Because D is C++ on steroids an has a lot of advantages. 
I must note that it's just the initializing code so far but since 
this works, getting the rest to run doesn't look very complicated.

And it works too. :-) That's really nice :-).

moe details please...

Code for R3 extension in D posted on web-site: www.rm-asset.com/code/downloads

I updated the http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/peekpoke.rfile.

Changes:

- SIZEOF function

- both CONVERT as well as REVERSE-CONVERT function handling blocks 
now
- comments and examples enhanced
