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.)
