1. Dylan

   Dylan is a multi-paradigm programming language that includes support for functional and object-oriented programming, and is dynamic and reflective while providing a programming model designed to support efficient machine code generation, including fine-grained control over dynamic and static behaviors. It was created in the early 1990s by a group led by Apple Computer. Dylan derives from Scheme and Common Lisp and adds an integrated object system derived from the Common Lisp Object System. In Dylan, all values are first-class objects. Dylan supports multiple inheritance, polymorphism, multiple dispatch, keyword arguments, object introspection, pattern-based syntax extension macros, and many other advanced features. Programs can express fine-grained control over dynamism, admitting programs that occupy a continuum between dynamic and static programming and supporting evolutionary development. Dylan's main design goal is to be a dynamic language well-suited for developing commercial software. Dylan attempts to address potential performance issues by introducing "natural" limits to the full flexibility of Lisp systems, allowing the compiler to clearly understand compilable units.

Examples of Dylan in a Sentence

1. Dylan Klebold:

   The one thing, of course, that I want to say is I am so sorry for what my son did, yet I know that just saying ‘I’m sorry’ is such an inadequate response to all this suffering, there is never a day that goes by where I don’t think of the people that Dylan harmed.

2. Me Too:

   When Dylan Farrow met Mia, she was so wonderful in Dylan Farrow eyes and was more age appropriate. I just liked them both. I liked her so much, this was Dylan Farrow real relationship.

3. Alice Hoffman:

   I think of the'60s and'70s as my time period, it was when I began listening to Dylan and going to Greenwich Village and I lived for a while in Northern California. It was such a chaotic time, with so much violence. Our country was divided, and it was nearly impossible to talk to someone' on the other side.' At the same time, people were fighting for their rights, and they came together in an amazing way.

4. Scott Russell:

   These are living legends with catalogs to match, giants of music history still walking the earth despite decades in a grueling industry. You may be able to hear the years in Bob Dylan's voice, but that's never what made his music special to begin with, touring is a major strain on the body and mind, so any artist still on the road at an advanced age is doing it for more than just financial security.

5. Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer:

   Dylan Noble thought Dylan Noble was either taunting Dylan Noble or was practicing pulling out a gun.
