Dialects - r3n/rebol-wiki GitHub Wiki

R3 provides two methods for implementing dialects. These two methods have different goals.

1. Internal dialects where the dialect implementaiton is done on the C level
2. Normal Rebol based dialects using PARSE and Rebol code for implementation

Carl, mentioned the origin for the two different concepts:

1. PARSE provides a full range of dialects.
2. Most dialects don't require that much power.
3. Dialects like DRAW, EFFECT, REBCODE are small subsets
4. A faster technique (than parse) can be used for such dialects.
5. That technique was used for DRAW, etc. (native evaluated)
6. I decided might as well allow it to be Rebol level too.

DELECT is also performing JIB (Just in time binding).
