For those of you who have not been following along at home (like me), here is a description of the Red programming language from the about page[1]:
Red is a next-gen programming language, strongly inspired by REBOL. Main features are:
* Homoiconic (Red is its own meta-language and own data-format)
* Functional, imperative, reactive and symbolic programming
* Prototype-based object support
* Gradual and multi-typing
* Rich set of built-in datatypes (50+)
* Both statically and JIT-compiled to native code
* Cross-compilation done right.
* Produces executables of less than 1MB, with no dependencies.
* Concurrency and parallelism strong support (actors, parallel collections)
* Low-level system programming abilities through the built-in Red/System DSL
* Powerful PEG parser DSL
* Cross-platform native GUI system, with a UI DSL and drawing DSL.
* Bridging to the JVM
* High-level scripting and REPL console included
* Highly embeddable
* Low memory footprint, garbage collected
* Single-file (~1MB) contains whole toolchain, standard library and REPL.
* No install
* Fun, guaranteed. ;-)
