I would very much love to live in a world where all #Python / #Perl / #Shell code is replaced by #Rebol code. What a beautiful world that would be.

#loonlang 2/2
But the pitch is actually solid. #Lisp aesthetics, #Rebol -like brackets instead of parentheses, simplified ownership - what's not to like there? Very alpha, but still something to keep an eye on.
#Rebol 3.20.0 is out! #Programming
π Enhanced Security: TLS v1.3 and more.
π Vector Datatype Boost: New math, statistical queries, sorting etc.
π UTF-8 Strings: A fundamental shift to modern text handling.
π§ Struct Overhaul: Re-implemented `struct!` datatype.
And more!

Via #REBOL and #Logo, our Meta #programming #language descends from the original #AI language, #Lisp. Our vision is for humans and AI to work together to improve #software. Most people don't look under the hood of their car, but technicians and engineers need to.

#programming languages I am most interested in, ranked low-high in terms what I think of them:
5. Go #golang
4. Zig #ziglang
3. Odin #odinlang
2. Rebol #rebol
1. Red #redlang
Note that Meta is not extensible yet. It will be eventually, like its predecessor language #REBOL, but this is high-level functionality that will come later.
I was a #Lotus #Notes specialist, which was directly inspired by Ray #Ozzie using #Plato as a student. Later I used the #P2P followup #Groove and several groupware systems written in #REBOL, #MetaLang 's predecessor. One of Meta's aims is to make the next step. #Bluesky is also a worthy successor.
Neither #redlang nor #rebol before it had any real hype machines promoting them, so it is rather unlikely that you have heard of those unique #programming languages. But they have their loyal community and are even used in production by those brave enough to dive in.
Implemented the "break" and "continue" loop control methods in our Meta #language. They're the same as in #REBOL 3, and #C and other C style languages. Other REBOL family languages have "break", but not "continue".

#RedSystem has #REBOL notation, but #C features and abstraction level, so you still get most of the intimidation. And you constantly have to convert between Red and RedSystem to interface with other systems, including the standard C library.
The #Lisp #programming #language earned its nickname of Lots of Irritating Single Parentheses. Meta descends from Lisp and Scheme via #REBOL and Logo, but reduces parentheses by not requiring them around function calls.

Our new Meta #programming #language is human-friendly and productive because, via #REBOL and #Logo, it descends from #Lisp and #Scheme. It's universal, fast, efficient and integrates with existing sub-systems because one of its backends compiles to #C.
