REBOL

What is REBOL?

Rebol is a versatile, cross-platform language designed for network communications and distributed computing. It introduces the concept of dialecting, which allows the creation of small, specialized languages tailored to specific domains. Rebol's data exchange capabilities and multi-paradigm nature have drawn comparisons to Lisp, with its designer highlighting the language's ability to easily generate domain-specific dialects as its greatest strength. Rebol's innovative approach to programming and data representation has also influenced the development of technologies like JSON
