Dylan is the "Write anything, do everything" language: from scripting and prototyping to robust application and component development. Dylan can be customized to support targeted domains such as games and business-to-business Internet solutions. These customizations can support non-programmers (e.g. scripting) while allowing a gentle slope to complex programs of several hundred thousand lines of code. The transition from one to the other occurs smoothly, without drastic breaks. No other mainstream languages have this capability.

There's also a free software implementation of Dylan that runs on Linux: Gwydion Dylan.
