REBOL Forum Recent REBOL Forum Topics http://rebolforum.com AI and modern tools Options are increasing. When I get a break from the current phase of my life, I want get to know better some of the smaller open source models that are trained specifically for software development and which can run locally. I've got 8 large projects in various stages of production and development right now - looking forward to a break and getting some time outside during the nice seasons (I've been putting in 7 days week for months - getting too old for that sort of work!), Posted by: Nick 14-Apr-2024/10:08:34-7:00 http://rebolforum.com/index.cgi?f=printtopic&topicnumber=46&archiveflag=new What I'm using now instead of Rebol Forget bootstrapping compilers - this is now the bar that every programming language must pass to be considered legit., Posted by: Nick 6-Apr-2024/9:48:20-7:00 http://rebolforum.com/index.cgi?f=printtopic&topicnumber=45&archiveflag=new REBOL dialect Meta on Bluesky social network Meta is now on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/language.metaproject.frl Bluesky is a new, open social media network.
