Ken Hagler points to a post by Mike Lockwood talking about his last days working on Apple Dylan. Ken also says 'Dylan was a new language project--I think it was related in some way to Lisp.'.
Dylan was a language created to be 'a better Lisp'. It has many Lisp like qualities but with an infix (Algol/C/Pascal) syntax. It can be considered to be an infix Scheme with CLOS style OO features. A version of the Newton OS was written in a pre-cursor to Dylan called Ralph (back when it had a prefix S-expression syntax).
There is a great Dylan implementation for Windows, Functional Developer, and an Open Source one that runs on all manner of operating systems, Gwydion Dylan.
