Red or Rebol 3: choice is hard

Question

I have tested Red, as for the language It's easy enough as it doesn't differ much from Rebol. But I really miss some console features, the most annoying for me is

red --do and autoloading script

which are missing. Are they planned ?

Answer 1

A --do command-line feature is planned for 0.6.4. Autoloading script is not planned for now, as it represents a potentially big security hole. Moreover, in Red, you can easily compile your own Red console for running your scripts, and include there whatever Red code you want integrated. You would need to download Red sources for that, then from the repo's root folder:

red -r %environment/console/console.red

You can edit the %console.red script to include whatever you want.
