General Development "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."

"It's a shame because it's a much more sophisticated language than Objective-C, but its syntax what it is, it likely wouldn't be particularly popular with C programmers anyway."

So once again an Algol language holds back computer progress. At least we had the sense to leave COBOL behind. Shame we can't do the same with C/C++.
