Dylan looks very nice, but there is only a commercial package available for 
W95 and a very preliminary free version for Unix (Gwydion). Rather limited, 
IMO. 

Cheers,

: Okay, here's a new angle:

: Use one language for both time intensive execution and for high speed
: development: Dylan.

: 	- fully compiled to native machine instructions

: 	- fully object-oriented, e.g. even basic types like integers
: 	participate in the object system

: 	- fully interactive, e.g you can extend a running program,
: 	test expressions, make function calls, browse data structures

: 	- easy syntax to learn

: 	- COM support

: I work for a Dylan vendor, so I'm biased, but drop a line to the user
