Title: Icon?
Post by: GaryCXJk on April 28, 2003, 01:53:27 AM: I found a free programming language called Icon.

(http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/index.htm)

Anyone got experience with that? And do you happen to know an alternative programming language?

About other langs: it really depends on what you're plan to do (type of application, multiplatform or not, etc.)

I think that stage about two months back was from an hour or so's worth of coding. You guys should check it out if your interested in multiplayer games

:para: Pow!

Is an extreamly nice language to program in, I'm currently making a Shining Force ( same people as Golden sun ) fangame called Dream Shining Character ( although currently on hold due to some rpgmaker 2k'ing ). Its specificly designed for multiplayer games over the internet, and has all the nitty gritty hosting code done pre-programmed. Its easy to learn, if you put the effort into it ( I gave a predicted time of 3 days for newbie coders to get bored and give up, so if you can beat that your going pretty well ).
