"Dylan is an advanced, object-oriented, dynamic language which supports the rapid development of programs. When needed, the programmer can later optimize programs for more efficient execution by supplying type information to the compiler. Nearly all entities in Dylan (including functions, classes, and basic data types such as integers) are first class objects. Additionally Dylan supports multiple inheritance, polymorphism, multiple dispatch, and many other advanced features."

Member since:I don't know of any right now; that doesn't mean there can't be one, though. This is probably the biggest thing that bothers me about you people--you compare a feature-less procedural language (C, C++, etc) to a relatively feature-rich OOP language (C++, Java) and proclaim that procedural sucks.

Member since:No I don’t! Thanks for generalizing! I’m actually searching for a good and modern procedural (and modular) programming language. I want some functional in it too, but dirty functional. I don’t want to be nailed down on the no side effects thing. I want to pass functions without using function pointers, and I want to iterate over arrays without having to write int i = 0; i < 100; i++.
Member since:
Do you know a decent procedural language? To me they all show their age.
