Re: Can one do the following in dylan?

Thanks for all the answers.

If I have well understood in dylan one can do the following:

- define a framework as a (shared?) library with an 'open' base class and
related methods and an 'open'
   generic factory function
- compile the main program against the framework and have it load further dlls
in some os
    specfic manner (this works with Fun-O at least) and call the factory
function with the "right" param.
- indipendently write and  compile the plug-ins/servlets/etc against the
framework and define
   more specific versions of the factory function (e.g. dispactching on
singleton strings) and the needed
   sub-classes

run the main program with an indication of which dlls should be loaded and with
wich parm the generic
factory function should be invoked.

PS:  this will  currently not work with Gwydion Dylan: correct?
