So I must admit I'm curious why people so obviously familiar with and
supportive of Dylan would develop a new langauge very much like Dylan
but revert to S-Expr syntax.  Anyone care to comment?  I'm aware of the
main advantages of S-Expr syntax, but I thought that the argument for
Dylan was that its macro system allowed the most common and useful
applications of Lisp macros without requiring such a controversial
syntax.

How do you see Goo vis-a-vis Dylan?  Do you see it as a competitor to
Dylan or more of a complement?
