Rebol ( ; historically REBOL) is a cross-platform〔 data exchange language and a multi-paradigm dynamic programming language designed by Carl Sassenrath for network communications and distributed computing. It introduces the concept of dialecting: small, optimized, domain-specific languages for code and data,〔Roberts, Ralph (2000). ''REBOL for Dummies.'' Hungry Minds. ISBN 0-7645-0745-1.〕〔Auverlot, Olivier (2001). ''Rebol Programmation.'' Eyrolles. ISBN 2-212-11017-0.〕 which is also the most notable property of the language according to its designer Carl Sassenrath: Douglas Crockford of JavaScript fame has described Rebol as ''"a more modern language, but with some very similar ideas to Lisp, in that it's all built upon a representation of data which is then executable as programs"'' and as one of JSON's influences.〔 Originally, the language and its official implementation were proprietary and closed source, developed by REBOL Technologies. Following the discussion with Lawrence Rosen, the Rebol version 3 interpreter was released under the Apache 2.0 license on December 12, 2012. Older versions are only available in binary form, and no source release for them is planned. Rebol has been used to program Internet applications (both client- and server-side), database applications, utilities, and multimedia applications.〔〔Auverlot, Olivier (2007). ''Rebol – Guide du programmeur.''〕〔In English: Auverlot, Olivier, Wood, Peter W.A. (2008). ''Rebol – A programmer's guide. Lulu.com''.〕 ==Etymology== Rebol was initially an acronym for Relative Expression Based Object Language.〔〔 To align with modern trends in language naming, most writers ceased the practice of writing it in all caps. Sassenrath eventually put the question to the community debate on his blog. In subsequent writing, Sassenrath adopted the convention of writing the language name as "Rebol". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rebol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
