2025-01-19

Open Dylan is an object-functional programming language, a descendant of Apple's Dylan language originally created for the Newton PDA. Combining the strengths of Scheme and CLOS, without the Lisp syntax, it's designed for efficient machine code generation. This article showcases Open Dylan's comprehensive documentation, including tutorials, reference manuals, and extensive library documentation, along with an online Playground for quick experimentation. Whether you're learning a new language or exploring efficient programming paradigms, Open Dylan is worth a look.
