Just finished the Icon book -- this is an interesting and very powerful
language.
Does there exist a program that converts an Icon-based parser into C code? I've
written parsers in C but do not find the exercise very amusing.
In general, is there any code out there that converts Icon to C? Or is there
some means of integrating Icon procedures into larger C or C++ projects?
Presumably the latter scheme would involve a version of the Icon interpreter
embedded into object code that is linked to the C project.
I wish that the commercial world I live in offered more choices than C and C++
and Java, but that's where we're at.
