-
- I am trying to start a Dylan programming revolution at my work. To
- me, Dylan is a dream come true. To other people, Dylan looks good but
- everybody wants to know WILL DYLAN TAKE OFF? Dylan's future is quite
- uncertain given that there are no viable implementations and that
- Apple hasn't even announced a Dylan product. Thus I find myself
- without the sort of ammo needed to put the skeptics' at ease.
-
- The best strategy is probably to wait until Dylan is real (and maybe help
- it to become real) and *then* try to persuade the skeptics that it's
- something they want to use -- if any persuading is needed at that point.
