- 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.
-
- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me convince the management. I feel that
- Dylan will far surpass Common Lisp in popularity, but my educated
- guess may not be enough. Any words of wisdom, insights, or
- information (e.g., will apple release a product and/or are there
- commercial products forthcoming) would greatly be appreciated!
