You are right that GC s not good fit for low level programming, but Red solves this problem with dialects (DSL) of Red. For low-level it uses Red/System [1], which is C-like language with Red syntax. There are also other dialects (DSLs) for other areas like GUI, parsing, etc... It's better approach IMO than trying to solve everything with one language.

This was something that definitely got my attention.

If the butthurtness of 9214 above is representative of the community, though, I'd probably last 10 minutes in their forum before being banned for life.

Even though some of my responses in this thread can be considered butthurt-ish in the hindsight, I don't think that judging whole community by one individual is a good idea.
