I guess Dylan's not so open after all

Here is the official site: https://opendylan.org

Don't know what the fellow intended to post; didn't even know there was a playground, and there is no link on the official page (at least I didn't find one).

For those that think Dylan is another new hotshot language to compute with the Rusts and Erlangs of the world, there's a bit more history here. Dylan is nearly 30 years old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Dylan_programmi...

Julia is heavily inspired by Dylan, and that makes it great as this brings a fantastic compromise between static and dynamic typing. Plus, methods (multiple dispatch) bring many of the advantages from OO.

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

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.
