I haven't really seen any consistant implementation of network
programming functions for Icon, beside maybe Unicon. Is there such similar
(and elegant) library available for Icon? Or will Unicon added features
being part of next version of Icon?
There are a few loadable C functions in the Icon Program Library
that are enough to implement a TCP client (but not a server).
The Icon language is essentially stable now and I don't see us adding
the Unicon features. The occasional new version of Icon typically just
fixes bugs and portability problems.
