It was created in the 1990s and it still looks innovative, even compared to a lot of the new 'hot commodity' languages like python and ruby. I knew it wouldn't happen.
If a big corporation like Google put money into something like that, I think it would dominate the market.
But what they have delivered here isn't even interesting.
(The other option for something I would want would be standardized 'web byte-code', so that you just re-target a compiler back-end to emit it, and your language can be used as if it were javascript.
This is neither of those thing and I am sorely disappointed.
- minikomi 15y agoI like it... It's kind of like schemey-ruby.

- nickik 15y agoYes, man. Dylan ftw. The best language that does not have s-exp syntax. There are still some guys tring to get a good implmentation out. Dylan could have been what Objectiv-C is now. It was an awesome project it just had bad timing.
