I believe REBOL and Red shouldn't be confused. The Red project seems to be going on quite lively, with the most recent commit some 9 days ago at the time I'm writing this (see https://github.com/red/red ). That said, it's still not fully complete, but it does most certainly have more modern goals than REBOL -- see e.g. the Roadmap Status page (http://www.red-lang.org/p/roadmap.html) for information about Android bridge (currently reported "90% complete", look for it at the bottom of the page).
