Unicon

Unicon is a programming language designed by American computer scientist Clint Jeffery with collaborators including Shamim Mohamed, Jafar Al Gharaibeh, Robert Parlett and others.

Unicon descended from Icon and a preprocessor for Icon called IDOL.

Compared with Icon, Unicon offers better access to the operating system as well as support for object-oriented programming.

Unicon began life as a merger of three popular Icon extensions: an OO preprocessor named Idol, a POSIX filesystem and networking interface, and an ODBC facility.

The name is shorthand for “Unified Extended Dialect of Icon.”
