This looks really neat!

Looks like a cross-platform language thats an even more acceptable lisp than ruby (hello macros!), with multiple build-language targets including C/javascript/C++ and a fast garbage collector? Like Go, but even cooler?



My enthusiasm is greatly lessened. The IDE doesn't compile on Mac OS X. Even worse, the developers don't care, and keep closing the issue.

As a rule, I avoid any project where the developers have too much of the it-doesn't-work-and-I-don't-care attitude, mainly because you can't build on top of a foundation that isn't maintained fastidiously--you'll waste all your time fixing the foundation and won't get productive work done. Culture matters.


Don't worry. You'd be better off using a normal text editor anyway. GTK+ is flaky on non Linux/BSD systems.

They should note what some of the OpenDylan folks are doing and write a plugin for Intellij.
