Numbers do count. Some-one on the ARexx ML wanted to know more about
the ARexx implementation, to see if similar ports could be made to Regina. He
just asked today.

OK, but...

... from *my* point of view, REBOL wins hand down! Because we must get our
data from the Internet (anyone here NOT doing this?), REBOL has overwhelming
advantages. 3rd-party REBOL ports are not too far off - it would be worth
waiting.
- REBOL is more powerful, now, than Rexx
- it is Internet savy - easy, direct importation of data off the net!
- compilers are possible - probable (an insider has already done some work on
one)
- you only have to do one language for all AmiBrokers - portability
- probably more things...

Does anyone else have comments?
Thanks, Tomasz.
