Rebol reminds me a lot of Tcl/Tk, but I can’t tell if that is because there’s a dialect that resembles it, or that it takes inspiration from tcl’s command substitution.

Tcl's command substitution is entirely string based, Rebol loads source and everything happens with internal values. That's a big difference.

Let me see if I understand this. By loading source / internal values, do you mean that the Rebol command substitution works with the AST directly?
