@hjek, as @dockimbel noted, and we have never concealed, Red was bootstrapped using Rebol. Doc's stats break things down pretty well, but there's another point to be made. Red is ~95% Rebol compatible. This is a very important detail, and proved that Red could be used to self host in the future. When the need to self-host becomes important, it can be done relatively easily, and with confidence.

Is that a fair and accurate assessment?
