"...Words have meaning and their meaning is relative to the context..."

THIS WIKI WILL BE READ ONLY FOR SOME TIME WHILE STRUCTURING IT

Welcome to the Programming Red wiki page.

Red is an advanced programming language born from REBOL. It is a full stack programming language.

The Author, Nenad Rakocevic started the project long before the source of REBOL3 has been releases. Both language share one common principle: be coincise. In Red and REBOL you can do in one like of code what in other languages needs many more lines. A 50 lines of program could be 2/4 lines in Red/REBOL.

Also you do not need 50 GB of HD space to start programming: 1MB of drive space and a text editor are enough.

While REBOL is now open source, Red has totally a different source. It has been coded from scratch. It maintains compatibility with REBOL2 (90% of the code) bit it is different. REBOL is interpreted, while Red is either compiled or interpreted.

REBOL Resources are vital part of Red and there is still more documentation for REBOL than RED, so feel free to read from REBOL pages and apply your knowledge to Red.
