Rebol has always interested me, as a person that follows programming languages. There seems to be a spark of insight to it. I wasn't aware that there were free and open source languages inspired by it (or made by its author), nor had I heard about Red. I'm impressed by what I've seen so far and am going to have to take a closer look!
I have suspected that a well-enough designed programming language could subsume many programming tasks that are currently different languages or data formats. There are so many. It looks like Red is attempting to tackle that problem directly - I'm curious what headway can be made.
Rebol itself was open sourced a while ago, but IIRC that didn't include the GUI system, and few third parties seem to be interested. Last update to the github repo [1] was two years ago…
If we're talking about Amiga almuni projects, DragonFlyBSD seems to be the healthier one.
