I imagine it is mainly because Arizona Icon never tried to be usable as an all-purpose scripting language for Unix/BSD/GNU, and so Unicon had no following to inherit. Another reason could be that goal-directed evaluation is very unusual. I myself learned about Icon through noweb, which I don’t use anymore, and Icon is only optional for noweb. -- Barry.SCHWARTZ at chemoelectric.org http://chemoelectric.org Free stuff / Senpagaj varoj: http://crudfactory.com (PDF) 'Democracies don't war; democracies are peaceful countries.' - Bush (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/12/20051219-2.html)
