Red language
Red language is a native-code compiled functional, imperative, symbolic, and homoiconic programming language that re-uses most of REBOL's syntax and semantics. Both static and JIT compilation support are planned. A strong emphasis is made on concurrency and both task and data parallelism support using an actor-like abstraction and parallel collections (Scala-like). The target range of usage spreads from low-level system programming (thanks to the built-in Red/System C-level DSL) and embedded systems, up to high-level scripting, with an optional REPL console.

Release Notes: This release brings variable function argument support, limited polymorphism, command-line argument access, low-level stack access, new debugging functions, and an improved "print" function. It also fixes several bugs for complex math expressions and closes a dozen tickets from the issue tracker. Last, but not least, Red's memory allocator has been implemented.
