I have been using Icon and Unicon for some years and found them to be very usable. They are such good languages, and so well-documented especially by the Griswolds, that it seems a pity they are not more widely-known and better-resourced for development.
On unfinished projects, see various previous posts. There is the stalled project to add pattern types, for example. There was a Prolog interpreter and plans to improve that which never came to anything. See also the recent discussion of error messages. There is a regexp package of ancient vintage. My concern is not that Unicon is deficient but there seems to be so much unrealised potential in a language well ahead of its time.
