More than that it is well suited to.

I'd say so. Dylan is a language designed to cope with large-scale, 
complex programming projects. The libraries available for Fun-Dev and 
Gwydion are well suited to server-side database and network development.

I find it takes me less time to start a project in Dylan than C++ or 
Java, it takes less time to refactor code, much less time to write it in 
the first place, and it's easier to express ideas in Dylan. I often find 
myself looking at C++ wishing I had access to Dylan's macro or GF 
systems.

If their web host isn't running PHP you can bet they're not going to run 
Dylan. :-)
