AltME: REBOL3

What are some examples of what can be done with a Rebol3 emscripten build?

GrahamC
It's there as a R3 interpreter for people to easily try out.
I imagine in time we will have complete control of the DOM so that you'll be able control the browser and JS. But initially it's JS calling Rebol.

Bo
I'd be excited to be able to control the DOM from R3...

There's no spoon (R3)
Bo
Spoon?

Pekr
"There is no spoon" is famous saying from The Matrix movie. What I mean is - there is (mostly) no R3. There is Ren-C though. The question is, if we should regard it being a direct continuation of an R3 effort, as there does not seem to be any other active effort ...

GrahamC
Current focus is now on getting Dom manipulation using the Emscripten build.  And this apparently involves running a JS emulator in JS!  How twisted is that?

GrahamC
So, this is a Rebol console in Javascript with widgets now.
The feat was just accomplished last night so lots of things to fix.
The columns on the right will be a debug inspector.

very cool, white paper and looks like typing in the web browser directly

You cannot eat soup unless it is almost frozen, or cooked dry.... there is no spoon..
almost invented / discovered though :-)

GrahamC
You can now use shift-enter to enter multiline editing mode, and control-enter to evaluate switching back to single line mode.
Bo
Pretty cool!

Endo
That is cool Graham!

I have added RSA cryptography to my R3 fork... here is a test file, where one can see usage example:
https://github.com/Oldes/Rebol3/blob/master/src/tests/units/rsa-test.r3
The code is based on files from Atronix's fork, but with rewritten and modified Rebol part (with a different function definitions).

Ren-c now supports TLS 1.1 and 1.2 https://github.com/metaeducation/ren-c/pull/854
which is pretty important considering most of the sites I use have now switched to TLS 1.2 now :(
