@Oldes What are the differences between base, bulk and core versions of your R3 ?
Arnold
I guess Rebol on the Atari is just too shocking for that community. No too many reactions on the news.
Kaj
Not for 2600, but for the classic 8-bit I'm getting a lot of good responses and assistance
The 2600 scene is split between assembly and one specialised BASIC implementation, so they're not used to programming languages
The 8-bit was always a programmer's paradise, with many languages

MicroCenter has shelves stocked with Ataris. I'm going to make a trip today to talk to David who is the MAC expert and was the Amiga expert, and still works there to get the drift on this.
Kaj
Oh, which models?
The new VCS?
Oldes
@marco Bulk contains almost everything, Base almost nothing and Core something inbetween.
@oldes: I have seen you have implemented munge on Rebol3. Which varsion have you used as source?
Oldes
I just modified it to be working a little bit in my branch, removing the old R2 and Red compatibility code. And I used the version from: http://www.dobeash.com/downloads.html
(I must note that I'm not Munge user)
Actually if I would need to deal with Excel sheets one day, I would write a proper codec for its file type, as I did with ZIP which was originaly part of the Munge source.

I would be interested in seeing a REBOL style language for the Commander X16 (David Murray's 8-bit computer).
Kaj
I have been investigating it. It's not hard to target with my language

First support would be through the cross-platform C backend. This would at least support the low RAM. As usual on an 8-bit, using the extended RAM would be trickier
Supporting native X16 features would need more funding
The C backend has considerable overhead, limiting program size, but this past month I have started on a native 6502 backend that generates machine code directly. This improves a lot over the C backend, but it's a lot more work, so also a matter of funding
Currently I'm working on the crowd-funding website. I will put all possible target platforms up for donations, and will implement them in order of highest funding
