Syllable now has its first separate REBOL binding. The current version of REBOL 3 for Syllable interfaces with the system at the POSIX level. Beyond that, you can write your own bindings with system and user libraries. Bindings are written as REBOL 3 extensions. We have created a binding with the popular cURL library, which is included in Syllable as its networking library.

Interestingly, and just like the core REBOL 3 interpreter library, Syllable Desktop can run the Linux binary of the binding unchanged, so that the same binary can be shared between Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server. This is possible because the interfaces between REBOL 3 and its extensions are designed for maximal portability, to avoid dependency hell. Downloads and documentation for the cURL binding are available here. We will be demonstrating the binding at the upcoming REBOL & Boron conference.
