Awesome work in less than 1 MB! Red could be a very interesting platform for iOT and embedded systems.

Red works also pretty neat with Wine. Just the shell cursor is not in sync with the input (usually one char ahead).

Is there way to run a GUI script without the shell popping up? Compilation of a script takes many seconds. Is that normal? Is there a FFI?



For wine issue, see https://github.com/red/red/issues/1618 . Short Summary: You need the Consolas font installed.

Compilation takes a long time currently. It is normal. Fast Compilation Times are an objective for 0.6.5 release.

For FFI, see http://static.red-lang.org/red-system-specs.html#section-15....

As for `Is there way to run a GUI script without the shell popping up?` , IDK. So better ask it at the gitter chat room.


Thanks for the detailed infos!
