A full-stack language – from the metal to the meta

Together with its foundation Red/System, Red forms a full-stack language—this means it can be used to develop high-level applications (domain-specific languages, graphical frontends, and high-level scripting) as well as low-level programs (embedded systems, operating systems, and device drivers), as shown in the following diagram in comparison with other languages:

It is quite unique in programming history that a single language spans the whole programming stack. This means that you as a Red developer only have to know one language from low to high level coding!
