Re: Overcoming the "Dylan is Dead" belief?

Data structures: primarily improving string handling, that I can
immediately think of.

OS stuff .. navigating directory structures, slurping up files in various
ways (whole file, by line, by string or RE delim) etc. Processes.
Networking.

You can do everything in Dylan, but I think for a beginner things such as
Python and Ruby are more discoverable, better documented, and terser.
