I must disagree. It's good for potential speed and efficieny but no
more. And while I might call myself an expert at it, or was at one time,
it was murder to me, too.

Yes, please, an industry-wide language that's fast and programmer
friendly..

Certainly. How can exposure for dylan be increased? I started learning
dylan but only had a couple of weeks before a contract came in, and had
to put it aside. I will definitely return to it, but in the meantime I'm
slightly concerned by the lack of publicity about it. Everything seems a
bit quiet, and that bothers me. I'd love to do something to help but at
the moment it's delphi for me probably for the next few months.
