I don't want to get into a discussion of Newton in this forum, except to
say that it would probably go nowhere if you could only program it in
Dylan.

I wonder about this too.  As a C/C++ programmer just looking into Dylan for

it would be.  I am looking forward to seeing an implementation of Dylan
with reasonable performance, but fear that it may not ever arrive.
