REBOL in Olympics

I've been in Beijing for 7 days. It's a busy week. I've been working very hard everyday, including weekend, from morning to midnight. I'm re-doing our product in REBOL, and I made a good progress, thanks to REBOL.

A small component I developed in REBOL is now included in a software package, which will be shipped to a famous IT company for the Olympics-related affairs.

REBOL與RIA

在「RIA說文解字」一文中，我提到了RIA的幾個技術，雖然當時沒提到REBOL，但是我心理其實很清楚，REBOL相當適合做RIA。在這篇「REBOL讓你讚嘆WOW」一文章，我特別說明REBOL具有RIA領域的潛力，因為：

(1) 執行環境超小
(2) 寫出來的程式小
(3) 跨越許多平台
(4) 支援許多標準協定

我認為，在RIA領域，REBOL會比Flash/AIR、Silverlight/WPF、Curl更適合。

根據內部的消息，REBOL 3.0會開始著墨在RIA領域。REBOL/IOS、REBOL/Desktop…等應用，以後會朝RIA的方向邁進。我想，這應該就是之前Carl在「A Busy Spring 2008」一文中所提到的祕密計畫。
