Icon is a descendant of [[SNOBOL4]] incorporating similar excellent string processing capabilities, built-in hash tables, success/failure based controls, dynamic storage, automatic type casting and coercion of values. Icon added more conventional procedural syntax, generator expressions, goal-directed evaluation that automatically searches for successful results. String scanning and matching superseded the pattern matching functionality of SNOBOL4.

|
Several extensions of Icon were developed to improve functionality. Many of these were unified with [[Unicon]]
