I'm surprised that I haven't heard of this line of languages before.

The home page of Rebol, which it says it's derived from, seems to do a much better job at stating its purpose: http://rebol.com/

One of the reasons it's not so famous is that it's had various historical struggles, including being stuck at 32-bit for a long time IIRC (I'm hazy on the details and corrections welcome). I love it though.

Seems like the development is much more focussed since last year and a lot is happening with 1.0 (and 64-bit support) being on the way possibly by the end of this year. [1][2]

I am really looking forward to learn more about this language when 1.0 comes out, especially because of its ambitious feature list [3] (programming across the low/high-level spectrum, etc.), Lisp influences and the Logo-like syntax inherited from Rebol.
