Open Dylan

Dylan is a fast, object-functional language with gradual typing, clean syntax, and powerful macro system.

@elonmusk This is literally the dumbest thing I've ever read.

@hydo Quite some work, I would think, since you'll have to keep up with the continuous changes to the project.

Anyway, if you do it make it open source so I can run lisp-to-dylan on it. Thanks!

[Open Dylan @DylanLanguage]

@haxor @munificentbob In a modern (circa the late '90s) Lisp, they are called head and tail.

[Open Dylan @DylanLanguage]

@_julesh_ People don't seem to think Dylan is a Lisp so maybe it's the s-expressions that really matter to Lispers.

[Open Dylan @DylanLanguage]

@tpolecat Dylan, because there's so much low-hanging fruit to implement. 😜

Working on improving the devx, with packages, a generalized build/install/update/status tool, a Lisp-like debugger/REPL, and LSP server.

@wfaler @SusanPotter @timperrett @tpolecat Do you mean zero values?

@tpolecat @AgileSue What tools are y'all using to write 6502 these days? I used to use the LISA assembler on Apple II+.

@nickikt heh, not sure about "mindy" per se, since Mindy still exists as a thing, but...and hear me out...what about "notbob"?

notbob new workspace foo 🤔

And I forgot there's @ArmyOfBruce 's name, "deft", although that probably had different design goals. Good name though.

[Open Dylan @DylanLanguage]

So what's a good name for a tool that creates Dylan dev workspaces, builds/runs tests, lists available packages etc? Should we go with boring "dylan" (the current choice) or is there something more fun we could use?

Commence the bikeshedding!

macOS support has been added now.

A GitHub Action for all of your Dylan continuous integration needs. (Linux-only, for now. macOS and Windows coming soon.)

So far "dylan" remains in the lead. 😁

[Open Dylan @DylanLanguage]

@Apocryphon In truth, since Dylan is supposed to be a portmanteau for Dynamic Language, we should really pronounce it the way Dave Chappelle does there.

I learned something here today.

[Open Dylan @DylanLanguage]

@Amber__Saber hmm. But the whole point is that you don't have to do it yourself. Also I'm not sure how to pronounce this. :)

[Open Dylan @DylanLanguage]

@drjtwit This is a remarkably reasonable suggestion. I think we're going to have to pass, though, for homophonic reasons.
