Interesting: Converting from Common Lisp to Dylan by Norvig.

norvig.com/ltd/doc/ltd.html -

Also slides from Design Patterns in Dynamic Languages (also by Norvig, in Dylan) http://norvig.com/design-patterns/ppframe.htm

Maxima Cas, that uses Lisp internally, could be translated to Dylan.

Given that the translator does not seem to handle CL:DEFMACRO, there is not much chance to translate anything serious into runnable Dylan code.

Here is an interesting link about macros in Dylan. IMHO, infix notation makes it so much harder to implement macros than in CL. http://www.fun-principles.info/slot/site/dylan/alpha/openpoi...
