What he probably means is the same as REBOL's dialecting. Go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REBOL and look under "Dialects". REBOL makes a big
deal of how easy it is to do complex things when you have created a dialect, but
there are no non-trivial, real-life examples. I would be interested to see what
Derek did, especially since Euphoria apparently doesn't have REBOL's
introspection ability, where REBOL can treat code as data and data as code.
I like REBOL, but I like Euphoria better, because REBOL is hard for me to read
and write. However, given the major changes happening in REBOL, from about now
to the rest of this year, it may be worthwhile for me to take another look at it.
In the meantime, I have a suggestion for Euphoria. REBOL has flailed about for
the last few years, and only now appears to be getting its act together with
v3.0. Similarly, Euphoria could launch itself into a new direction, but with
much less effort, thereby spawning many more, and much more public, success
stories. I'll continue this under a new topic.
