Although Dylan never really made it into "Fernando's elegibility list"
because
it was not a serious contender against Scheme and CL yet, it definitely got
banished the day the Lisp syntax was dropped. I'm still waiting for the day
when the Dylan fans will reinstate the alternative.
But my dream is a `parenthesized Cecil'

or "all you wanted in CLOS (and more) since you got `corrupted' by Eiffel"
;-)
