  1. 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...

  3. 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.

  6. CW: Computer programming

    Come get your #ObjectIcon sources, people! A #programming #language you probably do not yet know: github.com/chemoelectric/objec

    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.)

  8. 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)

  10. Watching 🦄#UniCon scythe.io/unicon2020 a free conference for the entire purple team: security researchers, developers, red teamers, blue teamers, and digital forensics and incident responders

    Happening today now 10:00 am - 5:30 pm ET

  11. @krono there are many interesting concepts in the language, not found in any other mainstream language of today. Sad that the interest in #Unicon/#Icon somehow decreased... But maybe its time will come again, like #Smalltalk, which is on the rise again :-)

  12. Does anyone has experience with the #Unicon¹ programming language? It is a successor of the #Icon² programming language and #Snobol. I really like it's concepts and Icon seemed to be popular in the early ninetees, but I'm wondering if and how it is used nowadays...
