That would also be a good read, and I may pursue that. Thanks for the idea.

One version of that (which includes a HyperTalk example) is this page 
listing code for how to write the lyrics for "99 Bottles of Beer on the 
Wall" in dozens of languages:
<http://www.westnet.com/mirrors/99bottles/beer.html>

:)

What I'm looking for with this article is not so much about the code per 
se but the programmer, about their subjective experience with the things 
they've enjoyed and perhaps been annoyed with while learning Rev.

Hopefully this article will provide helpful insights to guide others 
coming from various languages in making the most out of adding Rev to 
their toolkit.
