Language developped at the University of Arizona.
Features functions that may fail or return a sequence of results (generators)
fully-integrated in a Pascal-like procedural language. Fully dynamic 
type-checking, high-level string handling (designed by the same people who
created Snobol), associative arrays.

The amiga port encompasses both the interpreter and the compiler, though the
compiler demands huge resources. Work upon graphic support is in progress.
Specific amiga functions make it possible to use Icon instead of ARexx to 
communicate with external programs.
