People looking at dylan today (may be because it is mentioned whenever multiple dispatch is discussed) may be inclined to evaluate it for numerical programming applications and compare it with other languages in the same domain. While it is possible for dylan to to used in this domain with additional libraries like those present in python, dylan can make a big impact in the server side QQ frameworks dominated currently by Java and PHP,which have grown to monstrous pro[portions in size and complexity.With its CLOS style OO it can dramatically reduce code size and increase the power of such frameworks.
