This is their example of Fizzbuzz: https://github.com/magicmouse/beads-examples/blob/master/Exa...
But this is supposed to replace Excel somehow? Along with basically every other language.
I can't accuse them of not being ambitious.

Not to mention not researching your problem space seems to be an afterthought for these types of people. It's not a novel problem or solution.
Haxe already exists [1] to unify everything, similar to beads' claims. It doesn't.
Unifying has been done better before with it, C (it does run almost everywhere!), Java, Flash/Flex, and JS+HTML. Many have entered. Few win for a little while, and eventually everything loses.

> They are well funded.
Rebol Technologies went bankrupt, and Rebol is de-facto dead since more than a decade; Red barely manages to get by thanks to a recent crypto spike.
> I would say the languages are very different in the sense that Beads is clearly aimed at graphical interactive software.
So is Red with it's native GUI engine. [1]
> They are so different that it is hard to compare.
Both share the same goal of replacing modern software practices with biased, batteries-included toolchain, varying only in implementation.
> Red being a concatenative language has more in common with FORTH than Algol.
Red is not concatenative in any sense of the word, nor any other language in Rebol family that I know of.
