Very nice article. I'll be interested to hear where you end up, with eglot or lsp-mode. A quibble (based on my knowledge of Common Lisp, I'm not sure if it applies exactly the same way to Clojure): "Language server has…
+1. Earlier than I thought. I had guessed 1989.
Gwydion Dylan has been out of the picture for years. Open Dylan is the only maintained implementation. Perhaps you went down a wrong path....
Yes. Making a macro for defining enums isn't that hard (there's one here: https://github.com/cgay/uncommon-dylan/blob/master/enum.dyla...). I, for one, welcome my whitespace-surrounded operator overlords, but if you…
Thanks, that's the plan, although I hadn't thought about writing it up. :) It's pretty simple, really, but it has definitely highlighted the fact that there's a lot of work to do on the http server. I'm trying to decide…
We also have Dylan. Just sayin'.
I think I've fixed (well, worked around) a bug that may have been part of the problem. It's working for me now. Thanks for the interest, everyone. It never occurred to me this would end up on Hacker News.
Possible! When I restart the server there are instantly hundreds of connections. If so many people are interested in Dylan, let's get some code contributions going, folks. :)
Looks like my tiny little website is being attacked. This will take some time to deal with. Sigh.
Should be back up. I have a bug in the http server, which is also written in Dylan and hasn't been battle hardened, where it sometimes fails to close connections.
< > is a naming convention for types (e.g., classes) only.
The Dylan language spec has amazingly few edge cases. It allows a continuum of dynamic -> static typing and a range of functional <-> OO. With the right set of libraries it could be great in the scripting…
