Good question! Some answers could be: player has not a true console (I
cannot directly type commands). Rebol interactive console is a powerful
instrument to create/debug programs. I could have a Rebol version where
I can create text-based software, but I cannot directly use it to
interact with Rebol (typeing Rebol command, or writing Rebol scripts in
console). Another feature that could be eliminated is executing Rebol
commands using Rebol command-line (when you exec Rebol from your
preferred shell).
Think for a moment to the difference from a Explorer browser and a full
featured HTML editor like Dreamweaver: Explorer can exec the
HTML/Javascript code, but it doesn't give you any instrument to create
HTML code. If you buy Dreamwever (or a similar product, like Hotdog,
etc...) you have a good instrument to create HTML & co. Rebol could work
with the same target: Rebol player is the smallest instrument to play
Rebol scripts (maybe, it could be even smaller than now): no console
(console is available only to play text-based programs, not to let the
programmer directly type code), no interactive help (> ? print); and
Rebol "for developers" could be a package which contains a full-featured
Rebol program, a good Rebol editor (syntax highlight, interactive help,
direct execution, etc...), a full console help, a good debugger.
What do you think about it?
bye!
