Does Icon support #!/usr/local/bin/icon as the first line of an Icon
script yet?
Once Icon supports that it will be easy to use as a scripting language.
I remenber using some kind of wrapper program that allows one to
scriptify translators that don't support the #! system.
I forget what that wrapper programs name is though, been a while.
I have used Icon for scripting applications.

In it's own circle in Ousterhout's chart.
Ousterhout also left out scsh & guile, which fits in another set of circles
