I like Dylan for its generic function and restart system is probably what should have been in Common Lisp. Generic function is the same in Common Lisp, but Dylan actually utilizes it in the standard library.


This does make the compiler work much harder though! Having to optimize dispatch everywhere makes it quite a different thing from how a good optimizing Scheme or CL compiler works.
