I've been meaning to try out rebol (or red). I think it might be the perfect fit for my next project. I've downloaded and tested out red 0.5.4, and REBOL/View 2.7(http://www.rebol.com/download-view.html)
However, there are a couple of roadblocks for a complete beginner to rebol:
- Red seems to be still in alpha so it is out of the question
- There seems to be 3+(?) branches: REBOL3 - what is the difference between the different branches? I'm not sure what to start on
- Most of the documentation on the internet is for rebol 2 and documentation explaining the differences between rebol 2 and 3 is.. non existent? (case in point: parse is different)
So, my question is, if I were to develop a (Windows) gui application with http access (including http authentication) where should I start?
Should I use rebol 2, rebol 3(ren c), or red?
p.s. first question ever!
