[P (2005sep09: below this point things are really really old. Expect
  broken links.)]

[P Icon is the best language I've ever met. It's not as fun to program
in as [A0L index.html#forth Forth] and it's not very good at
interacting with the system, but.]

[P I once wrote a [A0L LATEX/dednat.icn program] to convert deduction
trees in ascii-art to TeX code, and I still use it a lot; I don't
have time to document it now, though. :-(]

[P There are two languages that I've been using much more than Icon
lately: [A0L tcltk.html Tcl (and Tk, and Expect)] and [A0L
index.html#lua Lua]. Tcl is beautiful but slow; Lua has an ugly
syntax but some nice concepts behind, and is very fast. I'll write a
decent comparison between the three someday.]

[P The main book on Icon, "The Icon Programming Language", by Raplh
and Madge Griswold (unbeatable! The best programming language book
ever! Etc! Etc!) is now online; go to [LR
