Dylan did well in multiple ICFP contests IIRC.

Mindy was used to bootstrap Gwydion Dylan, a Dylan compiler implementation. This was the main open source Dylan implementation for quite some time until Functional Objects (which obtained the code and rights from Harlequin when they went out of the language business) open sourced their implementation which is now 'Open Dylan'.
Functional Developer (What was Harelequin Dylan) was nice. The editor would syntax highlight the code based on the optimization level. In this way you could look at a method call and see if it was inlined or not and decide whether to seal functions or classes to improve performance.
Another interesting feature was the editor was written in Dylan (using a framework called Deuce). This was emacs-like and had features like virtual sections in a buffer that could each be mapped to a different file on disk. This allowed viewing in a single editor pane the implementations of all methods of a generic function even if they crossed multiple files. This could also be edited as if it was a single file.

They have to do that work anyway due to Firefox OS.

Mozilla could take great strides towards this type of phone if they cared. Integrate tor, Whisper Systems RedPhone and SercureText, HTML tracking disabled, etc. I'm surprised their Firefox OS looks and works so much like every other phone out there.

One of the best development books I've read is Thinking Forth [1]. Don't let the Forth aspect put you off. It's full of great design tips and ways of thinking about programming.

Try adding a language with proof solving capabilities. ATS, Agda, Idris, Coq spring to mind.

"Malware that can hijack the users' cookies" is a little different to "which is possible through DOM traversal" though. I wanted to address the point in case some got the impression just using the DOM via JS would allow it.

If the ads are shown in an iframe on a different domain you won't be able to traverse them due to cross origin restrictions.

This is already a problem with namecoin. If you grep through the blockchain there's all sorts of dubious stuff in plain text.

You ask "Who is Sunny". I believe they refer to "Sunny King", author of Peercoin and Primecoin. Some people seem to think Sunny is Satoshi.
