Icon is a very high-level programming language featuring goal directed execution and many facilities for managing strings and textual patterns. It is related to SNOBOL and SL5 string processing languages. Icon is not object-oriented but an object-oriented extension called Idol was developed in 1996 which eventually became Unicon.
