    The title says it all! How easy is to learn REBOL (given that you are a serious programmer knowing c/c++) and make a decent application? I currently don't have a peggy (but I plan to buy one :-)) and I'm quite good in C/C++, VB and Java. Will I make it?

    PS: MFC is the most RETARTED programming platform on earth! Borland C++Builder is sooooo much better! I just had to say that, I hope you understand....

    Remarkably easy. The hardest part for the experienced programmer will
    be UN-learning some of the habits created by procedural programming
    practices. However, it is very easy, and there are a plethora of
    tutorials on rebol.com and rebol.org ;-)

    I'm not a serious programmer but I already did some small scripts in Rebol to automize some tasks, like sending the same attachments to several e-mail addresses or downloading mails from some mailboxes containing mailing lists and doing some filtering and I have to say it is quite easy. What I like is the integrated support for network protocols like pop, ftp, smtp and so on (I'm a network engineer). What is also cool is the source code portability. I developed some scripts on my amiga and installed them on a linux box and it just works.
