When reading about Dylan, it seems one of it's main selling points is "everything is an object." But nowadays, that's true in many other dynamic languages like Python, Ruby and Clojure. Macros are everywhere and you can even add them to Python if you want to using third party modules. Though I've never felt the need because Python's syntax is excellent as it is.

For me it is very hard to see what Dylan brings to the table. It's nieche is already filled by more popular languages.
