  19. I remember that an older version of Icon shipped with both a translator to Icon byte code (icont) and a compiler which was native to
  20. the machine (iconc).  The iconc compiler worked by first converting to C code and then compiling the C code using the native
  21. compiler for the platform.  I'm pretty sure that support for iconc was dropped.
  22.  
  23. What would be REALLY cool in my mind is a compiler that converted from Icon source to Java byte code.

  29. Does there exist a program that converts an Icon-based parser into C code?
