I wish the controls would look more "native". Currently they look like Windows 3.11. Also... Downloading code over plain HTTP? Not good idea... For people that are interested, here's a free book: http://www.lulu.com/shop/olivier-auverlot-and-peter-william-...

The new language Red is 98% Rebol compatible and uses native GUI feel. If only it'll get finished and reach 1.0. Still a bit left on the roadmap.

Sounds good. Would you recommend learning Rebol and then Red or just forget about Rebol and start with Red? Not 1.0 means it's not production ready?
