Icon programming language (original) (raw)
“Icon is a high-level, general purpose programming language, with many features for processing symbolic data such as strings of chains and structures. Icon grew out of a desire to find a more easily implemented language than SNOBOL. First implemented in 1979 (and written in Ratfor), Icon has been continually developed and refined. It is an expression-level language more powerful than Pascal or C. In Icon, a string of characters IS a value.” —Language Finger, Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library, University of Montana.
