Dylan was a Swift that came too soon, at least as the sibling comment mentions, we got Julia.

We also have Dylan. Just sayin'.

Sure, and the efforts for OpenDylan should be appreciated, however I think its opportunity has been lost and what remains are the ideas on how to do a proper Algol like Lisp.

Opportunity lost or not, we're sticking with it, including preparing for a new release in the next few days (see our testing pre-release at https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/releases/tag/v2020.1...).

That is interesting to know, I thought that after the LLVM integration it had stalled.
