We are pleased to announce the general distribution release of version 1.0
of "Jcon," an experimental Java-based Icon implementation.
Jcon is a new Java-based implementation of the Icon programming language.
The Jcon translator, written in Icon, generates Java class files that
execute in conjunction with a run-time system written in Java.
Jcon is an essentially complete implementation of the core Icon language,
lacking only a few things such as chdir() that cannot be done in Java. Large
integers are not implemented, and only rudimentary graphics are present.
Jcon is an experimental research project and should be viewed in that light.
We are distributing Jcon because it is interesting. Its performance does not
match that of the standard Icon interpreter, which is still preferred for
production and everyday use.
