I don't know much about Perl but while were at it I'll mention the two
features I miss most in Icon: a Modula/Oberon-like module system and
dynamic
linking. I'd much rather have these features instead of
'object-oriented'
additions.
I too would like to see modules in Icon. I know Ken Walker
developed a commercial version with modules some years ago,
but it wasn't persued because lack of interest. Is there more
now?
