World: r3wp

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 
link:

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

moliad.net   is now on-line.   :-)


Served via cheyenne, using Remark-mod, building pages dynamically.


Now that I've got the look pinned, the server & all dependencies 
sorted out,  I can now concentrate on CONTENT & documentation. :-)


The server is setup with all remarking debugging enabled (which is 
extensive!).  so there might be some slow down sometimes.  Usage 
will allow me to see if its an issue or not. 

Tell me what you think of the style (in ann-reply :-)

oops: forgot the link  :-)

D extension: DLL doing virtually nothing (ie. return 4 fixed values) 
of size 200KB its "cool" seems D needs some optimalization in exporting 
things IMO. Similar library compiled under TCC was about 2KB (the 
test dll from example by Carl)

Yes, that's because the D runtime is required which does a lot like 
GC etc.

The DLL is only  a demonstrator as I wrote to show how to do it. 
Nothing more.

200 KB is very small for such a runtime. I suppose it can also be 
linked dynamically?

I'm not sure, haven't checked yet. But the linker only includes what 
the app / DLL uses, so the dynamic version would be bigger.

Since a couple of days I'm in close contact with Carl discussing 
how we can help to move R3 forward.

And, how to best deal with the community so everyone can see that 
things move on.

The rebol3 twitter acount will be used for update and progress postings. 
So, if you want to know what's up follow it.

So, I will be ghost-twittering there too.

So, Socialite App is you?

Yes.
