I haven't used GD much, but I plan to convert Koala/DSP to it as
soon as I get a chance.  Of course if you beat me to it that would
be great!

What would be really nice though, would be for someone to implement
mod_dylan for Apache and then to implement DSP on top of that.  I
took a look at it and even started writing C-FFI for it, but it's
not my area of expertise and I didn't get very far.  Any takers?

On the topic of Dylan activity, I notice there are still a few
downloads per day for Functional Developer.
