DM vs Rebol

DM and BYOND are constantly being developed and expanded, with feedback from the community, and Lummox as the lead developer.

The BYOND community is helpful, and has been active for decades, so there are many solutions available. You can find many answers in the forums.

Documentation is easy to learn, and can be found here.

Makes networking easy, so you can just make your game.

One of the easiest to learn languages. Similar to Python and C++.

Rebol's name came from "Relative Expression Based Object Language". Rebol is a functional language and everything is an expression that returns a value. Things that have to be baked into the grammar in other languages are simple function calls with block arguments in Rebol.

Code is data, and data can be code. Rebol is based on a simple block data structure, used both for data and for the code itself. Blocks can be manipulated programmatically, and then evaluated as code. This makes metaprogramming easy in Rebol.

Almost natural language, for example: write %out.html read http://google.com.

Beginners are usually stuck making command-line applications in other languages, because GUIs are too hard. Rebol GUIs are easy enough to start with.

Rebol's simple homoiconic syntax makes it easy to create "Rebol dialects"--domain-specific languages optimized for a particular purpose. The Rebol distribution includes many of these, and users are free to create more. These DSLs make tasks that would be complicated to express in other languages easy.
