I just heard about REBOL recently as it was mentioned as a "good new
language to learn" at the "Future of Programming Languages" [1] talk at
Strange Loop.
I am happy to help anyone who would like to add Babel support for REBOL.
The existing ob-*.el language files should serve as a good guide. My
only request for anyone looking to implement such support is that they
be willing to sign the FSF copyright assignment (see [2]).
Cheers -- Eric
