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

  23. I think that if Apple is serious about this, it's time the rubber hit the
  24. road.
