- eudox 13y agoI've heard of it but never took a hard look at it. The one thing that's interesting about it to me is that it's a Lisp with "normal syntax", which is people's main complaint about Lisp, yet it hasn't exploded in popularity the way one might think it would. Just a thought.
- duaneb 13y agoHow did you go from "C with macros" to Dylan? I love dylan but its main draw is its object system, not macros or metal.
- BruceM 13y agoC could have meant a different syntax. Dylan is pretty well known for having macros without having s-expressions. And some pretty low level code can be written in Dylan. There's been some low level networking code by some Germans, as well as large parts of the Dylan runtime, including byte-level layout of method dispatch data. Looking through what he has so far in his repo (a quick look), a lot of it is similar to what we have in subject matter.
