codewars
Add Red
Please complete the following information about the language:
- Name: Red
- Website: https://www.red-lang.org/
- Language Version: 0.6.4
The following are optional, but will help us add the language:
- Test Frameworks: None that I'm aware of
- How to install: Download the corresponding executable for your platform
- How to compile/run: Requires REBOL 2.7 interpreter; read the compilation instructions on GitHub repo
- Any comments: A successor to REBOL; incredibly low learning curve, easily masterable and incredibly practical (no need for libraries, everything is built-in; practical datatypes for common real-life problems)
:+1: reaction might help to get this request prioritized.
I guess Red is going to be quite stable (even though it's in beta), since it's basically re-implementing much of REBOL (the main built-ins are already implemented though).
But in retrospect, I think I should have asked for adding REBOL (since development has already stopped).
Looks like an interesting language. But I think REBOL 3 should be considered instead of Red (as pointed out in your second message) because Red's documentation is rudimentary.
My suggestion: open a new issue for REBOL 3. If you have any experience with REBOL then you should write a test framework for Codewars. This test framework should be able to print messages in the following format messages.md. If possible, an existing test framework should be used (but it may require some modifications to support Codewars output).
