The syntax of Rebol, its predecessor, was an inspiration for the Mathematica language.

According to Wikipedia, Mathematica was initially released in 1988. Rebol was first released in 1997.

Maybe Rebol inspired some part of Mathematica that came later, like the manipulate/dynamic system?

Rebol also influenced JSON, according to some people, per links in this post (on my blog):
