Development

Foreign Inspiration Take inspiration from other languages to create the same functionality in rebol. Binding "Binding" refers to the concept of an invisible pointer that is annotated onto ANY-WORD! types, which connects them to an object where that word is defined (or more specifically, an ANY-CONTEXT!) Build System Discuss rebol-make and other build systems. Ports To discuss the port model and also the implementation of ports with respect to networking. Testing Discussion of Tests, Testing Methodology and Continuous Integration (e.g. Travis-CI). Modules Module Development Focus GitHub List/discuss the common commands that are used when working at a simple level with git and the sources. Debugger It's best to walk before you run! Naming Suggestions on naming new functions, and guidance on choosing names. Language Bridging Interfacing Rebol with other languages discussed here. Emscripten Emscripten builds of Ren-C Internals Internals of the Rebol language Datatypes The datatypes category is for the discussion of the specific properties of datatypes themselves.
