I don’t think the article does justice to the declarative programming approach. The title feels more like clickbait for programmers.

Can someone shed some light on what is declarative in this example? I’m a bit puzzled.

The article talks about something I’ve never seen before: anti-AI hype in software development. It feels like a programmer writing from inside a bubble.

My personal experience with it is different. The title doesn't make much sense to me.


Nonverbal communication is the transmission of messages or signals through a nonverbal platform such as eye contact (oculesics), body language (kinesics), social distance (proxemics), touch (haptics), voice (prosody and paralanguage), physical environments/appearance, and use of objects.


Impossible to run on macOS. The provided "binary" is a complete mess. It's actually a zip archive with an app inside of it with a binary that doesn't match a modern Appple Silicon architecture.

I don't understand why the download link is even there. In practice, macOS is not supported. I hope it works better on Linux. Can't care less about Windows.


Last time I tried (perhaps 4 years ago?), it works on 64-bit Linux. But you still need to install 32-bit compatibility libs. On macOS, well sadly it's still 32-bit. Not sure how many folks are still using Mojave...


So this probably won't run on Apple silicon. They don't have support for 32bit apps.


It also doesn't run on Big Sur, Monterey.... back when I was still on X64


For downvoters. I made an effort to file a very detailed bug report regarding this issue. I'd love to make it work but it seems like original REBOL binary is also 32-bit only. I still don't understand why the provided binary is a rabbit hole of problems. I do want to try it on my system and open to making an extra effort to make it work. :)


IIRC, Red is not yet fully self-hosted, so it makes sense that the download would embed a copy of the original 32-bit x86 Rebol to bootstrap / compile.


I'm a victim of such a fraud. It started gently on LinkedIn and ended up on http://fiverr.com that exploits PayPal to extract money from unsuspecting clients. I paid for CV editing service that was never provided. 60 euros gone and PayPal just accepts sellers side of the story.

http://fiverr.com is a scam. Don't use it. PayPal's support is a joke.


That's an interesting take on the topic! Bought it to support the development.


Absolutely not :)


I was going to post it too. It's lovely!
