Hello again. Here are some of the questions I have to answer for my
Programming Languages project about Icon. If any of you can help me out,
I'll be very grateful.
Name of the language.
When was it created?
Who created it?
Where was it created? A university or private company?
Paradigm to which it belongs.
>From which language did it inherit characteristics? (Mention all languages
of which it inherited any characteristics from.)
Is it compatible with another language?
Does a formal definition of the language exist? (i.e. IEEE, ANSI, ISO, etc.)
What was the purpose for its creation?
Did it accomplish those purposes?
Is the language still in use?
Is it used for the purpose it was created for?
How many official revisions have there been?
Any help is fully appreciated. Thank you all.
