Hi all,
I am in the process of perapring material for a programming languages
course. The course is based on the book Essential of Programming Languages,
which is based on building interpreters in Scheme implementing many
important language constructs. Thus, the course doesn't show example code in
different languages.
I am, however, creating a short section with example code in some innovative
languages. The idea is to give the students "shock treatment" - making them
realize that not all language are Pascal/C/Java.
I was wondering what would be the best Icon example. I want something short,
which solve a concrete problem, and uses some of Icons interesting features
(goal directed evaluation, string scanning).
Any suggestions?
