  I make equal parts of my income from writing python code and from
  writing code in rebol. Rebol starts indexes with 1. It also uses the
  'first function (like lisp). This has prompted me to write and use
  the following:

  def first(v):
    return v[0]
  (-: Regardless of where you start counting, there you are!

  comparing rebol and python - rebol is more productive, line for line,
  from my experience. But because of python's OOP engineering it, it
  scales better, enabling more maintainable code in larger projects.

  Consequently, I use python for big projects, rebol for small.
