Description:
|
A free, open-source implementation of the Dylan language for
Unix-compatible systems. Originally developed by the
Gwydion Group at Carnegie-Mellon University, the compiler is
now being maintained and extended by a global volunteer effort.
The major component of Gwydion Dylan is an optimizing Dylan-to-C
compiler. Dylan is an advanced, object-oriented, dynamic language
which supports the rapid development of programs. Nearly all
entities in Dylan (including functions, classes, and basic data
types such as integers) are first class objects. Additionally Dylan
supports multiple inheritance, polymorphism, multiple dispatch,
keyword arguments, object introspection, and many other
advanced features.
