In addition to containing the Dylan
module, the Dylan
library contains a
variety of modules which provide extensions. Gwydion compilers
export the following modules from the Dylan
library:
Extensions
This module exports useful extensions to the Dylan
language (see the Section called The Extensions Module).
Ultimately, there will be several, more logically separate
libraries that extend Dylan or provide an application
framework for users. For now, we put any commonly used
utilities in the Extensions
module.
System
This module exports an interface to operating system calls and special, low-level functionality (see the Section called The System Module).
Introspection
This module exports reflective operations for examining classes, functions, and so on.
Cheap-io
This module exports some basic, unextendable input and output functionality.
