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

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.
