Random trivial examples:
Code:
)> foreach character "maemo" [ print character ]
m
a
e
m
o
)> type? last [ 1 "maemo" 10:30 ]
== time!
)> type? second [ 1 "mameo" 10:30 ]
== string!
)> do [ print "compose" ]
compose
It is useful as an interesting functional language.
Hopefully it will be extended to contain more useful protocols soon.

For example, in rebol you can type
Code:
send fred@example.com read http://talk.maemo.org
to send "fred" a copy of the html for talk.maemo.org. It is very useful having url and email as basic datatypes I hope more of these rebol features end up in Boron soon.

Let me know the compilation errors and I'll drop them on the mailing list to see if anyone can help.

Cheers,
John
