Ask HN: What Happened to the Red Language

6 points by langfan 3 years ago · 4 comments · 1 min read


I mean the Red language that was based on and sort of successor to Rebol. It used to be mentioned here on HN. But for a while I have not seen it talked about much here.

They got distracted by involving themselves with a crypto scam and their progress halted.

    Exactly what I thought at the time, I mean, that it was not a good direction to go in, and was depressed about that, due to having played around some with Rebol before, but not knowing much about crypto, I kept mum, except for possibly commenting once about it here on HN or maybe on Twitter :(

    Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks, all.

FWIW, here below are some of my past comments about Red on HN, including the one about crypto, written using my main HN id, this one, vram22. The langfan id I did the OP under is just a new one I made up to comment from another phone.
