[REBOL] Re: What's wrong with Ruby

Yes that was my thought as well... why wasn't rebol mentioned or even on the raidar?
Open source status is my guess..
But elegance is a big concern of mine. I'm looking for languages that are fun to work
in, and part of that is how expressive they are.

I'm more interested in what's right than what's wrong. :-)
:-( and why wasn't rebol mentioned.
I use rebol and python about 50/50. Despite what is said in
that article, I find python impressively well and thoughtfully designed,
but it takes more code than rebol to get things done.
BTW the python 2.5 executable on linux is 4136308, compared
to 332052 for rebol/core - that's 12.456* greater hit on system resources.
