Dylan is a new Object-Oriented Dynamic Language (OODL), based on Scheme, CLOS, and Smalltalk. The purpose of the language is to retain the benefits of OODLs and also allow efficient application delivery. The design stressed keeping Dylan small and consistent, while allowing a high degree of expressiveness. Dylan is consistently object-oriented; it is not a procedural language with an object-oriented extension. A manual/specification for the language is available from Apple Computer. Send email to dylan-manual-request@cambridge.apple.com or write to Apple Computer, 1 Main Street, Cambridge, MA 02142. Include your complete address and also a phone number (the phone number is especially important for anyone outside the US). Apple hasn't announced plans to release Dylan as a product.
