Subject: Icon - still alive??
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@cs.arizona.edu
I have been writing some cataloguing and index applications in a PC
database program. I know icon has been out there for a while and
have an intuition that it probably could do this easier than the db.
Is icon a viable language, or just some grand experiment?
Is it a fringe type thing with a cult following, or a real tool?
Thanks
