Icon is a high-level programming language with extensive facilities for
processing strings and structures. Icon has several novel features,
including expressions that may produce sequences of results, goal-directed
evaluation that automatically searches for a successful result, and string
scanning that allows operations on strings to be formulated at a high
conceptual level.

Icon Programming Language, Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ,
