A Technorati Client in 9 lines of REBOL
REBOL is a weird and nice language. It’s got URLs and emails as data structures (and for good reason). It’s new and it’s immature, but the folks have a vision, and that’s what makes me use it on occasion.

Maybe somebody else will (or is?) snatch that vision from them. However, REBOL is in safe hands. That’s nice.
