Thinking languagey thoughts, and was reminded of #Dylan, the language they wrote for the #AppleNewton but didn't get ready in time & never ended up using.
It's derived from #Scheme and #CommonLisp but it has a built-in object system derived from CLOS, and *looks* a lot like Ruby‡
I really wish they had shipped it. I feel like it died before it ever got a chance to live.
