Re: [Orgmode] REBOL support Was: Re: [babel] ob-web

[Eric Schulte]

I just heard about REBOL recently as it was mentioned as a "good new
language to learn" at the "Future of Programming Languages" [1] talk at
Strange Loop.

I am happy to help anyone who would like to add Babel support for REBOL.
The existing ob-*.el language files should serve as a good guide.  My
only request for anyone looking to implement such support is that they
be willing to sign the FSF copyright assignment (see [2]).

Cheers -- Eric
