Dylan

Dylan (DYnamic LANguage) is a new programming language invented by Apple Computer and several partners. Dylan is dynamic, is object-oriented, and delivers efficient applications.

The Dylan language is defined by The Dylan Reference Manual, written by Andrew Shalit, and published by Addison-Wesley (1996). That manual is the definitive reference on Dylan.

Dylan is up and running. You can get it from Harlequin, Carnegie Mellon University, Apple Computer, and other organizations. Dylan implementations run on most of the popular computer platforms. Full-fledged implementations provide both a compiler and a development environment. You can obtain public-domain implementations. For more information about Dylan, see Apple's Dylan web site, and Harlequin's Dylan web site.
