The Icon language is
* * * N O T * * *
dead, not by any means. It has active use here. I bet there are others who
feel similarly.
I feel it is a mistake to believe in the criterion that if there isn't a lot
of frenetic communal chit-chat or hubbub about this, that, or the other, there
must be no life. Perhaps Icon users are simply more contemplative than your
average Web aficionado, and are busy thinking and doing.
Our group is small. Most of us have applications and things to do beyond
Icon. But Icon is incredibly important. It is my computational mainstay.
