	Icon programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Icon is a very high-level programming language featuring goal directed execution and excellent facilities for managing strings and textual patterns.
		The icon language is derived from the Algol-class of structured programming languages, and thus has syntax similar to C or Pascal.
		In many ways Icon also shares features with most scripting programming languages; variables do not have to be declared, types are cast automatically, and numbers can be converted to strings and back automatically.

		Icon is a high-level programming language with extensive facilities for processing strings and structures.
		Icon has several novel features, including expressions that may produce sequences of results, goal-directed evaluation that automatically searches for a successful result, and string scanning that allows operations on strings to be formulated at a high conceptual level.
		The language is described in R. Griswold and M. Griswold, The Icon Programming Language, Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, second edition, 1990.

	The Icon Programming Language
		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.
		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).
		Icon is a high-level, imperative, procedural language especially useful for processing strings and structures.

	Book review: The Icon Programming Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Icon is noteworthy because it takes the idea of generators and uses it as a primary concept; every expression is a generator capable of producing multiple values or reporting failure, and the language will backtrack when an expression fails.
		Icon is obviously well-suited for writing parsers and similar string-chopping programs, and the backtracking evaluation would make it straightforward to write goal-searching programs, but there's no mention of OS interfaces other than opening files.
		The language seems moribund these days, and it's probably not much of a loss, because except for generators it's a fairly unremarkable scripting language, but it would be nice to see a modern language with the same backtracking capability.

		Icon has a number of string analysis functions such as “find”, which is used to find a sub-string within a string and can be used in string scanning.
		Griswold even goes as far as to put numbers on it [2, p19]: “For programming tasks of a moderate size, an Icon program is typically one tenth the size of a corresponding C program and can usually be done in one tenth the time.”.
		Icon is well suited for building tools, as Mitchell [8] remarks: “I think that many programmers don't have a language like Icon in their toolbox.

	Icon Programming Language FAQ FAQ
		Icon is an imperative, procedural language with a syntax that is reminiscent of C and Pascal, but its semantics are at a much higher level than those languages.
		It's worth noting that all implementations of Icon are based on the same source code, which is written in C. This contributes to the portability of Icon itself, as well as to the portability of programs written in Icon.
		The Icon Project is a name used by the group that develops, implements, distributes, and supports the Icon programming language.

	Mitchell Software Engineering -- The Icon Programming Language
		It's often the case that a programmer working on a large project encounters small problems that are amenable to being solved with a program but it can be hard to justify the time to develop a solution in whatever language he or she knows best.
		Icon is in the public domain and is a very practical result of a decade of National Science Foundation-funded research on high-level programming language facilities.
		Icon was developed at the University of Arizona; the principal investigator was Dr. Ralph Griswold, one of the inventors of SNOBOL4.

		Icon is a very high-level, general-purpose programming language with a strong emphasis on processing strings of characters and complicated structures.
		The success of this design philosophy is illustrated by the fact that Icon programs are typ ically one-tenth to one-third the size of equivalent C programs and can be written correspondingly faster.
		The main documentation for Icon is The Icon Programming Language (Griswold and Griswold, Prentice-Hall, 1990, ISBN 0-13-447889-4).

	Programming language concepts
		Computer Science 302 deals with programming languages generally, considered as formal, executable notations for expressing algorithms: their syntactic structures, the ``virtual machines'' or models of computation that they implicitly rely on, the data values and structures that they support, and the semantics of the various constructions from which programs are built.
		The textbooks for the course are Essentials of programming languages, second edition, by Daniel P. Friedman, Mitchell Wand, and Christopher T. Haynes (Cambridge, Massachusetts: The MIT Press, 2000), ISBN 0-262-06217-8, and Concepts in programming languages, by John Mitchell (Cambridge, United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press, 2003), ISBN 0-521-78098-5.
		All of the Scheme code presented in Essentials of programming languages is available on line, along with several customization files to adapt various Scheme implementations to the dialect used in the book.

		As in intermediate code, it is a form of output code used by programming language implementers to reduce dependence on specific hardware and ease interpretation.
		A byte-code program is normally interpreted by a byte-code interpreter (usually called virtual machine since it is like a computer machine).
		The current implementation of the Ruby programming language actually does not use bytecode, instead, it relies on tree-like structures, which resembles intermediate representation used in compilers.
