Icon is one of the languages I often teach in a Programming Languages
class. My current combination (Smalltalk/Icon/SML) is a nice contrast to
the C/C++/Java that is all most my students would otherwise see. Icon is
a really nice language and serves well pedagogically. Although I don't
believe that Icon needs to be object oriented like "everything" else (I'm a
fan of OO, but there are other important valid approaches), I think Unicon
might tempt more programmers to discover the joys of Icon.
