- Unfortunately, Dylan isn't going to go anywhere until people like you and me
- have a sample implementation in our hot little hands. I realize that the
- specification isn't entirely formalized yet, and so anything that was
- delivered now could not guarantee source-level compatibility with the final
- version, but that's been true of C++ since forever, and look at how quickly
- it's infested (I mean spread through) the community. Even C didn't reach
- its current, almost-useful form until quite recently, and yet somehow we
- muddle through.
-
- I think that if Apple is serious about this, it's time the rubber hit the
- road.
