The reason that I ask is that Ladislav's explanation in https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/REBOL_Programming/Advanced/Interpreter is based on it working. Perhaps the explanation only applies to Rebol 2.
I'll try again without the HTTP link:

In the page you sent, Ladislav says:
"if the do function evaluates an error! datatype value and the value isn't used as an argument to a function accepting error values, the interpreter causes the error.
In my opinion, this exception is unnecessary and can be painlessly avoided in the future versions of the interpreter."
Is this changed already?
>> f:  func [e [error!]] [true]
>> f  x
== true
And, before above lines, do the following:
>> x: try [1 / 0]
It works as above for R2 and R3.
Ah, sorry, he already says "and the value isn't used as an argument to a function accepting error values", I missed that part, sorry.

Has anybody ever done a Redis client for Rebol3?
Pekr
IIRC, Rebolek did Redis protocol for R3 .....

There is probably one bug that I fixed locally, but I'm not sure if I uploaded the fix to GitHub. I will check it.

"using path! is much faster than working with string!. make path! [user 1 name] runs about 8-9 faster than rejoin" ... AJOIN addresses this.

Rebolek
Yes, that's true, AJOIN is faster. There's definitely room for optimalization.

@Rebolek - thanks!

I am in need of some docs for R3 - how dows the module system work, mostly... I need exhustive documentation in terms of options, i.e. can I upgrade modules, sign them, etc.? What's possible?
Pekr
Module system was imo never properly finished and/or documented. Dunno if first implementation was done by Carl or BrianH, but Carl asked BrianH to rewrite it. He did so. But I also remember, that he still wanted some PROTECT function changes, etc., which were imo not done. IIRC, Rebolek tried to use the module system, not sure about his experience, but some ppl found the module system quite complicated ....

Atronix used R3/View to create this really cool looking UI for their product. Does not use R3/GUI, but is built upon the gobs -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj1CEU2RlBg&feature=youtu.be

David den Haring said that they are integrating OpenGL into Rebol3 natively. That sounds exciting!
