Hello;
I have some experience programming in Fortran, but would now like to do
some windows gui programming in a more modern language.
>From what I have read, I like Icon's strings processing features, as
well as the fact that the size of strings / lists do not have to be
specified when writing a program. now...
Can an Icon program be compiled into a stand-alone executable, to be
used on computers without Icon installed?
If so...
How much memory overhead does the Icon interpreter have?
How does the program execution speed compare to a similar program
written in C++ or Java?
Are there files system functions to check for the existence of, copy,
move and rename specified files / folders?
Thanks
Leonard
