They're doing a good job. Was recently looking at Racket for metaprogramming to make a language that... does a lot of what Red does. Might just use Red lol. Still the tough decision between it and Racket. I'd think Racket having more people and time behind it (along with IDE) might still make it the best tool.
A little commenting on the reddit version in case anyone is interested. I usually prefer the hacker news crowd though. Does anyone already have an area in mind where they plan to use this?
I'd really like to see a Red <-> Unity or Red <-> JS bridge. Unfortunately there's been no word on a JS bridge since it was suggested for Google's Summer of Code 2014. Android is an interesting but fast-moving target, I think Unity or JS would allow Red much more widespread adoption across platforms.
In the meantime I've been tempted to write a microservice in Red using the 0MQ binding [1]. Other bridges and bindings are listed on the contributions page [2].
Great interview & overview of Red, Nenad! (if you're reading this)
I had a rare opportunity to speak with Nenad a while back in Beijing. Great dude all around, I wish him all the best with the development of Red - hope to see its success!
