Gwydion Dylan - A collection of Dylan development tools
DESCRIPTION
Gwydion Dylan is a collection of free software Dylan development tools forUnix and GNU/Linux systems. It includes the
d2c(1)compiler, the
mindy(1)interpreter, the
melange(1)interface generator and a number of other useful programs. Gwydion Dylanwas developed by the Gwydion Group at CMU with DARPA funding, and is nowmaintained by a group of volunteers.
d2cgenerates fairly good code--current development versions are about half asgood as gcc in this respect. (In fact, Gwydion Dylan uses gcc to generatemachine code, but not all of the high-level language features are fullyoptimized.) The compiler and standard libraries are actually very stable,but in need more work before they're suitable for widespread use.
Unfortunately, the compiler still runs slowly. If this is a problem, youcan use Mindy, the included Dylan interpreter, to develop and debug code,and use the compiler only when you need performance.
