cee caw

what's the logic behind that, Tom ?

four days of fever and chills
that and c - zero based arrays

(the latest names are PICKZ and POKEZ, but I am not sure they are 
acceptable)

I'm not sure we can do better, Ladislav.

Tom, hope you get better.

me too

Three letters start to look a little bit cryptic. Reminds me of LISP's 
car, cdr, cadr etc.

get and put

suck and blow

long thread on that subject on the ATM (amature telescope maker) 
list, to put   fans in front of or behind the mirror

slurp dump

get / set  I think would be my choice it is already in common use 
for similar ops

I think Ladislav is suggesting that, in addition to the existing 
PICK and POKE, which are 1-based, we add two new words which use 
0-based indexing.

yes   get/set  for a   0 based series seems reasonable at the moment

suck and blow .... LOL  !

zick, zoke :)

if you really use 0based, you know what you do, an can remember that. 
and it sounds dynamic :)

will we need a 'zeroth too?

can it be a long name?
  pick-before series 27
is what it does.

could we define hair as being before head   ?  ;-)

I would use z-pick/z-poke rather than pickz/pokez. It mentally expands 
to zero-pick rather than pick-zero, and reads as zee-pick rather 
than picks.

or rather pigs

pick0 poke0 ?

pre-pick pre-poke

I like z-pick and z-poke

but I'm fine with pickz and pokez as well - no problem to me

cpick and cpoke ?   (Inspired by C++'s  cin and cout)

sounds interesting

pixies & pokesy

Still suffering from fever Tom? ;-)

unfortunatly

otherwise I would be too busy to play here

.

Any progress in REBOL 3.0? Any scoop to share with us? Anyone?

jerry, Carl just wrote something interesting on the blog :-)

interesting :-) If they started to work on View kernel part, does 
it mean Core alpha is ready in some concrete form? (because View 
surely will use low level advantage of newly introduced inheritance 
(class system) ...

We will have to be more careful of what we write on the rebolweek 
blog !

Henrik, Thanks. That article certainly set my mind at ease.

graham, I suggest you start writing more about "Oh, rebol3 development 
seems to have stopped." Maybe that will set off more rebol3 articles. 
:-)

:-))

hehe... well in the last  blog, carl says he is  actually working 
on the face side of things  :-)

it wasn't me .. it was Volker!

one other month since last R3 blog update. Any news here?

I would like to know more about these optimized graphics objects 
or whatthey'recalled.

interesting part is, that imo if Carl and Cyphre work on new View, 
then hopefully Core R3 is ready to some extent?

otherwise I would not understand it. Because I would prefer Core 
alpha release, allow ppl to study new plug-in architecture, trying 
to wrap few libraries etc.

but who knows - Carl promissed to post "bigger picture" diagram of 
R3, but maybe he forgot ....

I wonder, if tasking model, timers, event system, are already decided 
...

Uhm, as I posted in Linux group, many systems are targetting its 
future towards vectore usage. Co-author of KDE 4 blogged about how 
fast Qt 4 based vector pipeline is, and it seems other engines can't 
stand the competition. Of course he generated some noise, as Cairo 
fanboys did not like it :-) http://zrusin.blogspot.com/So I looked 
at http://www.antigrain.com, to see what is new with AGG. It seems 
to me, that it is not good for RT - they are changing licence for 
any new version to GPL
