The Dylan reference manual : the definitive guide to the new object-oriented dynamic language

A new generation of innovative software - software that can be built quickly and enhanced over time - requires sophisticated programming tools. Dylan, the latest object-oriented dynamic language, means innovation. Dylan includes garbage collection, type-safety, error recovery, a module system and programmer control over runtime extensibility of programs. The language is object-oriented and dynamic - like Java - yet it also supports static compilation as efficiently as C++. The Dylan Reference Manual is the first complete reference to present all aspects of this unique language. It provides conceptual chapters describing the overall structure and semantics of the language and gives the definition of every class, function, and syntactic construct of the language in detail. You can also examine the BNF for Dylan's syntax and quickly look up new terms in the glossary
