I have the beginning of a port of gwydiondylan, there are still a lot of issues to fix. The byte-code compiler (mindy) is slow as hell, d2c doesn't quite work for me yet. Outside of that, dylan->binary does not work on a range of architectures. Dylan reminds me of haskell. Both are high-level languages, better than sliced bread, and *everything* you want to build with them involves compilation speeds that make g++ look like it's the fastest thing out there...
