  I thought I said that: I concluded that Dylan was a waste of time.
  What kept me interested in it for a while was the Lisp-like syntax.
  I didn't find the semantics and the "feature set" sufficiently
  attractive on their own, and knowing how fixed-grammer languages
  evolve (rampant keyworditis and logorrhea), didn't appear to be
  something worth investing in at the time.  However, it has been six
  years, so I ordered a couple books on Dylan from Functional Objects
  to see if there are any good ideas I am more likely to pick up now.
  (Incidentally, I didn't see any non-Windows offerings, which means
  I'm not inclinced to investigate further, as I simply don't deal
  with criminals, such as Microsoft.)
