Using Gwydion Dylan, the development process is slightly cumbersome, but
definitely doable.  You:

  1) Buy a reasonably fast box (900MHz == great, 233MHz == slow but bearable).
  2) Write a bunch of Dylan code.
  3) Wait a few minutes for it to compile.
  4) Test it.
  5) Debug it with dybug, which is clunky but usable.
  6) Repeat steps (2)-(5) until done.

I imagine that Functional Developer is much more pleasant to use, of
course.

Cheers,
Eric
