The Marlais Hackers are pleased to announce their first release (a
continuation of Brent Benson's and Dr. Joe Wilson's work) of Marlais:
a cross-platform interpreter for Dylan.
This beta release, version 0.6.1., has added support for top-level
enumerated constant bindings of returned values (provided for by
Andreas Bogk), the latest Boehm garbage collector and improved parsing
for Windows (provided for by Doug Auclair), and some improvements to
Marlais Dylan.
Besides acting as an interpreter to allow for rapid prototyping, we
plan add to Marlais the capability to run smaller Dylan files as
"scripts". Please visit our web-site (http://marlais.sourceforge.net)
to find out more about Marlais and our coding efforts.
