With an Internet that loafs along at something less than 56k baud for
most of us, Rebol's speed is irrelevant if it is only used for the Internet
part of what I am doing.

In reply to Brian Jackson's wish list....

Euphoria lets you access the WIN32 API at a low level. I guess in theory that
lets you do almost anything, but there's currently no high-level support for
OLE/COM/ActiveX

I wasn't planning anything, but if enough people lobby for it and/or explain
how it should be done, I'm willing to consider it.

As much as I would like to fight against it and use CORBA instead, it
appears that Billy Boy has triumphed again with COM even showing up
in Linux. As for OLE, it seems a bit premature when we don't even have
a generalized call interface or any form of Eu modularity to be looking at
support for a sophisticated and completely Windows based form of
inter-process communication like OLE. But, it would be useful!
On, Active/X, I draw the line in the sand. that particular piece of
functionality
is responsible for 90 percent of the security problems of IE. Why would we
want it for Euphoria? In addition, Active/X is a completely Windows centric
format. Ugh! Why not Euphoria as CGI, or Euphoria as JavaScript
replacement, or Euphoria as JavaBean generator instead.
