REBOL, the Relative Expression Based Object Language (pronounced is a data exchange and programming language designed specifically for network communications and distributed computing. Its designer, Carl Sassenrath, calls it a 'messaging' language, and says this about it: "The main idea of REBOL is that it gets used for: server, client, communications between them, and storage on them. The power of REBOL comes from its unique integration of programming language concepts and meta-data language concepts. The ultimate goal of REBOL is to provide a new architecture for how information is stored, exchanged, and processed between all devices connected over the Internet. It [REBOL is meant to be used for the semantic exchange of information between people and machines."

History


First released in 1997, REBOL was designed over a 20 year period by Carl Sassenrath, the architect and primary developer of AmigaOS, based on his study of denotational semantics and utilizing concepts from the Lisp, Forth, Logo, and Self programming languages.

REBOL/Command, which added strong encryption and ODBC access, was released in September 2000.
