ICON as a language: new section
Line 415:
 
:No, I'm confused by the [http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html#generators Python generators definition]. Forget it! [[User:Rursus|Rursus]] dixit. ([[User talk:Rursus|<span style="color: red; background: #FFFF80"><sup>m</sup><u>bork<sup>3</sup></u></span>]]!) 07:33, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 
== ICON as a language ==
 
the article opens by characterizing ICON as a string manipulation language.
 
I think that if you look at ICON 9.5 this will not seem an appropriate characterization. Was ICON not the first expressly free language (after accidental SNOBOL 'release'? )
 
ObjectIcon at code.google.com/p/objecticon is surely more than a string manipulation language
 
ICON is better characterized as a free expression-based language with goal-directed facilities
 
For ICON for pythonistas, see convergepl.org
