I was just thinking about how Arizona Icon converted co-expressions to a pthreads implementation and suddenly realized it might be to make co-expressions ‘the’ way to get a separate thread in Icon.
But this is NOT what a co-expression is meant for! I mean, this just plain is NOT what a co-expression should be thought of as. A co-expression is a way of making an Icon generator portable and able to read messages. And thus also is best to be FAST...

Стеклянная память. Как развивались голографические системы хранения данных
Человечество придумало множество технологий долговременного хранения данных: от выбитых на камне иероглифов и глиняных табличек до современных твердотельных накопителей (хотя глиняные таблички, если подумать, тоже вполне себе твердотельные). Однако в ряду носителей информации была ещё одна необычная и довольно интересная технология, которая, несмотря на свою перспективность, так и не получила широкого распространения. Речь идёт о хранении данных с использованием стекла.

CW: Computer programming
Come get your #ObjectIcon sources, people! A #programming #language you probably do not yet know: https://github.com/chemoelectric/objecticon
Easier to learn if you already know #Icon or #Unicon. Also if you know #Prolog or #Mercury, which are other languages that have goal-directed evaluation (which which are declarative, whereas the Icon family are procedural).
(Please fork rather than expect support, though. I am an elderly disabled person.)

CW: Rosetta Code
BTW a fourth method, beyond closures, inheritance, and unlimited polymorphism, is the co-expressions of #ObjectIcon and #Icon. Which I used, for those languages. (Also #Unicon)
A fifth option would be practically anything you can think up that uses call-with-current-continuation in Scheme. But I did the #Scheme with closures. :)
(Side note: neither the Icons nor standard Scheme have run-time type safety. So the Python method would have worked, too)
