Our group created Dylan, a new programming language; and is
working on Apple Dylan, a new development environment for
Macintosh. Other groups are developing both commercial and
non-commercial Dylan implementations for other platforms. Click on the
Dylan icon below to find out more.
Dylan is a dynamic language. Click here to find out more
about dozens of free and commercial
dynamic languages available for programming the
Macintosh. There's so much more to programming than just C and Pascal!
If you're a serious Mac developer, you should check out the
Apple World-Wide
Developers Conference (WWDC), May 8-12 in San Jose, CA.
Dylan is a new language developed at Apple. It is a bold new effort to
create a powerful, practical tool for writing mainstream commercial
applications. We believe it combines the best qualities of static
languages (small, fast programs) with the best qualities of dynamic
languages (rapid development, code that's easy to read, write and
maintain).
About MCL, Apple, and Digitool
The origin of the Apple Cambridge lab goes back a small company,
Coral Software. In the late 80's, it developed an award-winning
Common Lisp development environment now known as MCL (Macintosh Common
Lisp). When Coral was bought out by Apple, it expanded into the
present-day Apple Cambridge lab, which continued to develop MCL and
create Dylan. In November 1994, MCL was spun out to an independent
company, Digitool.
MCL fans will be happy to know that Digitool is hard at work on a
PowerPC-native version, and has already demonstrated alphas of MCL 3.0
with many improvements. Please click to check out the Digitool home page.
