More language stuff
Glenn Vanderburg reports a dynamic typing debate during a panel at the Rocky Mountain Software Symposium. It's good to see more and more people being able to question their assumptions.
Chris Double found an article describing why the Rebol developers took continuations and tail-call elimination out of Rebol. A lot of the reason has to do with a switch in interpreter implementations, that makes it much harder for the Rebol folks to keep continuations and have good performance. The other reason, at least for continuations is that it would be much harder to interoperate with existing OS and GUI libraries. I can see that it might not make financial sense for the Rebol folks to do the work to put these features back in, at least for now. Maybe if dynamic languages really have a reneaissance, they'll change their minds.
