The Icon Programming Language seems pretty cool
I was reading over the SPITBOL wiki page and came across a reference to the Icon Programming Language.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Icon_%28programming_language%29<p>Now granted a lot of it is supported by modern languages in the form of list comprehensions and generators, but the way it&#x27;s combined with the idea of &#x27;goal directed execution&#x27; is really cool imo.<p>But the part that shocked me is that this language was released in 1977.<p>What other amazing things have I missed because I&#x27;m not old enough to remember?
