I've not had much time to play around with my copy of Apple Dylan,
because I've had to spend most of my learning time with Java (and
it's legacy syntax - like the integer based switch statement...)

I'd much rather be using Dylan - then it occured to me that in
theory it wouldn't be that hard to have Dylan use Java classes
and produce Java  byte code applications and applets.

Is anybody working along these lines? It -would- be a good way to
bring Dylan into the mainstream imho.
