Red is both an imperative and functional programming language created in 2011 by Nenad Rakocevic. It is distributed as free software under the modified BSD license with a just in time compiler. Both are respectively based on the REBOL language and the REBOL interpreter.

The Red programming language was presented during the Software Freedom Day 2011[1];[2] giving to his author a large audience; the video is still on the SFD homepage since September 2011. Rakocevic is also the joint winners of the REBOL of the Year 2011 election[3]. Red was first introduced in the Netherlands on February 2011 at the REBOL & Boron conference [4] by his author which is also known to be the creator of the Cheyenne HTTP server[5].
