The Dylan project received many years of generous funding from Apple Computer. Without Apple's vision and investment, Dylan would never have been created.

Special thanks are due to Kim Barrett for his timely commentary on many language design questions, to Paul Haahr, David Moon, and Keith Playford for last-minute heroic contributions, to Sonya Keene for the HTML version of this book, to James Joaquin for a great language name, and to Russ Daniels and Ricardo Gonzalez for seeing things through to the end.
