I still don't really know what REBOL does... I've read pages and pages of technical and promotional documents but I still don't know how it will benefit me!!!

People are constantly complaining that Pegasos isn't Amiga. With REBOL on board, it gets yet another step closer to convincing. After all, Sassenrath was behind REBOL, and how much more Amiga do you get?

They want a little Sticker that says Amiga.

lol... AmigaOS is amigaos because it is AmigaOS, not becaues the original people are involved or its got the same classic apps.

MOS and UAE run those same apps just fine, AROS too on 68k hardware.

its AmigaOS because its the original source!

The Fiedens (sp?) have stated that they have had to rewrite much of it.

I dont think bbrv are getting REBOL onto their platform just because it or its developers had something to do with Amiga's. Their doing it because there could be a market for it!

Yes, I agree.

Original source? You're kidding, right? OS4 is as much as a rewrite as AROS or MOS. I'd love for you to explain to me how you can turn 68k assembler source into C without a rewrite.

You forget that some parts of the OS are running under 68k emulation, they obviously use the original source :-D

I haven't found a use for REBOL yet, because I can't really understand it (due my short commings, rather than REBOLs).

I assume it's like AREXX (something that I never found a great deal of use for either, though I understand the usefullness)

-Edit- I removed the outdated parts of this post (Cheers Wayne).

And when are we gonna see an AROS port of REBOL then, (Gotta keep the plugs going) :-P

The lines are drawn and are clear. The AMIGA OS is being updated and re-compiled and enhanced, it is still AMIGA OS, although it is compiled for a newer hardfware base now. i can run Linux on a sparc station too, is that now Sparc OS, no it's not.

You really don't know what you are talking about.

I've asked people before NOT to enter into disscusions they do not understand. :-x
