[ale] OPEN-ing the way for a REBOL-ution?

[Charles Shapiro]

Ooh, that is very interesting.  I remember playing w/ REBOL back in the
'90s or so when you showed it off.  I just wish if I could find a place to
use it in production.

Hey!  Has anyone thought of puting a REBOL interpreter on a cellphone?
