- Well, I'm just lazy. I've read something about Dylan in Dr Dobbs (October?),
- but I didn't find out not much more than that Dylan is suppost to be some
- kind of OO LISP.
-
- I've read something about the OO limitions of CLOS (true encapsulation is
- not possible, slowness), so is there any body out there(tm) that can say
- why I would want to use Dylan in stead of say, Smalltalk.
-
- Dylan is also reported to be highly compilable. Any benchmark figures
- available?
-
- Thanks,
- Richard
