REBOL
REBOL (Relative Expression-Base Object Language) - A cross-platform scripting language for creating web applications. It was designed by Carl Sassenrath.
The language of REBOL has combined many of the most important features of previously developed languages. It is designed to be contextual and has a syntax that resembles natural English. In addition, it is a symbolic and reflective language (it is itself a meta-language). Breaks commonly used programming rules in other languages, eg variables are replaced with expressions, and code should be short and effective, where simple tasks are to be implemented using simple code.
Like Lisp, where REBOL derives many concepts, it has dynamic typing and the ability to treat source code as a first class object. All of these features of the REBOL language allow for extremely efficient and low-volume code. Simply put, this language exploits the potential inherent in the coding itself. Example
For example, a one-line program that reads text from the console and then prints it in capital letters: print [uppercase s: ask "write something"]
