Re: Are there any .NET possibilities/implications for Dylan/Functional Developer?
Is Dylan still alive? It seems that a lot of the sites I go to have a
ton of dead links and a lot of places haven't been updated at all this
year. I'm just curious. I've been looking around for a new
programming language and since it will be mostly a hobby and not a
career, I'm not too terribly tied down to using a more traditional
language like C++. However, I don't want to adopt something and be
left with a dusty bin of old and forgotten technology.
any comments? anyone?
