Icon is a very high level general-purpose programming language with extensive features for processing strings (text) and data structures. Icon is an imperative, procedural language with a syntax that is reminiscent of C and Pascal, but with semantics at a much higher level. Icon has a novel expression-evaluation mechanism that integrates goal-directed evaluation and backtracking with conventional control structures. It has a string scanning facility for pattern matching that avoids the tedious details usually associated with analyzing strings. Icon's built-in data structures include sets and tables with associative lookup, lists that can be used as vectors or stacks and queues, and records.

The Icon Programming Language Click below to go directly to a specific section: History Significant Language Features Areas of Application Sample Programs ... Acknowledgements History Icon is a derivation of SNOBOL, a language originally designed by Bell Telephone Laboratories in the early 60s to promote development of string and structure intensive applications. Further implementations of Icon have been produced by The University of Arizona . The name Icon was chosen before the term "icon" became popular for GUI images in use today and does not stand for anything correlating to the language (apparently it is just a catchy name). The Latest Implementations of Icon and the Icon program library are 9.1 and 9.2, respectively. Version 9.3 of Icon and the next version of the Icon Library is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 1996. Platforms supported include UNIX, MS-DOS, MS-DOS 32-bit, VAX/VMS, Macintosh/MPW, and Acorn Archimedes, while versions for Microsoft Windows and NT are in beta testing. Icon can be implemented as an interpreted or compiled language. Interpreting Icon is useful for small programs, or when debugging. Compiling Icon will first translate to C code, which must then be recompiled as C. Significant Language Features Icon is a high-level, imperative, procedural language especially useful for processing strings and structures.

The Icon Programming Language, 3rd Edition Foreword to The Icon Programming Language, 3rd Edition A simple fact keeps me coming back to Icon: With Icon, I can write programs I don't have the time to write in C or C++. Without Icon, those programs wouldn't be written and tasks that could be automated would be done manually instead. When teaching a course in comparative programming languages at The University of Arizona, I took the liberty of attempting to identify the design philosophy of Icon: provide a "critical mass" of types and operations free the programmer from worrying about details put the burden of efficiency on the language implementation C scores about zero on those points. C++ provides the ability to build or buy a "critical mass" and it also can free the programmer from worrying about details in many cases, but that takes effort. With Icon, it comes in the box. I think that many programmers don't have a language like Icon in their toolbox. The result is that instead of building a personal tool to automate a task, the task is done manually. I think every programmer can benefit by knowing a language like Icon. C, C++, and Icon can be viewed as filling three different niches:

14. The Posix Interface For The Unicon Programming Language Introduction. The icon programming Language1 provides a large set of platformindependentfacilities for non-numerical processing, graphics etc. http://www.drones.com/unicon/

The Posix Interface for the Unicon Programming Language Shamim Mohamed This document may be reproduced and redistributed freely provided it is reproduced in its entirety. Introduction The Icon Programming Language[ ] provides a large set of platform-independent facilities for non-numerical processing, graphics etc. Icon runs on everything from Unix machines to Amigas and Macs. This strong point, its platform independence, is also a weak point: it could not offer access to the underlying system and so could not be used as a system administration and scripting language like Perl[ ]. This was a great disappointment to the author, who has had to write many Perl scripts over the years. While it is true that Perl substitutes for a congolmeration of sed awk and shell scripts, it does so with some of the worst language features from them. Icon, on the other hand, has always been a good clean language with lots of support for high-level control and data structures. If we could add the Unix system calls to the language, we would have the best of both worlds: a sensible and powerful VHLL as a Unix scripting language. Icon even has integrated support for X11 graphics! This document describes a set of functions that implement access to POSIX system calls offered by the host system; it is the definitive reference for the POSIX functions of Unicon. Several functions are only available on Unix systems; programs that need to run on the multitudinous varieties of Windows should not use them.

19. Icon Programming Language icon programming Language. Icon is an excellent, highlevel, general-purposeprogramming language. It deserves to be (much) better known! http://home.attbi.com/~gep-2/icon.html

Icon Programming Language Icon is an excellent, high-level, general-purpose programming language. It deserves to be (much) better known! It was created by Ralph Griswold, one of the original creators of SNOBOL4 back at Bell Labs, and embodies many of the same concepts but in a "structured" and more modern-looking framework. It also has quite a number of interesting new features that SNOBOL4 doesn't have (unfortunately, it also lacks a few very nice features that SNOBOL4 has). The language is especially well-suited to problems in information structures, combinatorial problems, and complex problems which often lead to convoluted solutions in other languages. There are a number of good sites on the Web with information about Icon, so I won't attempt to duplicate them here. Instead, I'll encourage you to visit them and learn a little bit about the language. Note that Icon is completely in the public domain, and is all but totally machine-independent, so you can probably get a version for almost any imaginable type of computer system you have available and would like to run it on. University of Arizona Icon Group - "the horse's mouth", as it were. From this link you can download complete copies of Icon for essentially all platforms.
