Maybe? (I'm going to leave where I am shortly on a 6+ hour drive. I'm on holiday in the US for another several days.)

I was talking with someone else last night that has worked on and with Dylan for the last 20 years or so over dinner.

He commented "I'm sometimes afraid to use Dylan as I don't know if someone will be supporting the compiler." I replied that "I'm afraid to support the compiler sometimes as maybe no one will use it."

That said, I've put some years of effort into it and have been actively maintaining the compiler for a while now. Now I'm building up libraries that I need for my green field project and working on some language changes to support that.

I'm now working on a 2-5 year time frame.

That said, if we got another like-minded hacker out of any attention, I'd fall over from joy. We have so many things that we need help with, especially things like type system work, but also plenty of easier things.
