Dylan OpenPoints

The Dylan language was developed by the Cambridge Labs of Apple in the early nineties.

On the newsgroup comp.lang.dylan you can find discussion since 1992. Here we summarize open points, which are known from discussions on the newsgroup.

  • Organisational OpenPoints
    It is expected that the OpenDylan project, which was triggered by the transformation of the commercial Dylan implementation to the Dylan OpenSource community, will bring up open points in the organisation of the Dylan community.
  • DRM-related OpenPoints
    This stuff might either produce features that should be note in an updated version of the Dylan Reference Manual or require extensions in the Dylan Reference Manual
  • Implementation related OpenPoints
    Here are OpenPoints handled which are related with code handling, code implementation, compile and linking, interactivity between IDE and developer. All this points are implemenation specific and, if mentioned in the DRM , they only outlined via recommendations.
  • Several specilized OpenPoints are handle in own nodes like OpenPoints about documentation, macros, and syntax presentation
