Good morning Clint,
I have been trying to develop a technique in Unicon to do lambda
functions using co-expressions, etc. However, it would be nice if there
was a standard easy means to do this within the language.
I am still looking at the various task facilities that i was writing
about earlier.
So many projects and so little time.
regards
Bruce Rennie.

Kim,
Everyone on our list should hear about our brother language Object
Icon if they haven't already. It may be just the ticket for folks who
need Unicode support in an Icon dialect, I don't know. If it meets
your needs that is outstanding news.
At present, my relationship with Unicon star citizen Robert Parlett
is: I worship the ground he walks on, and he won't talk to me. He is
literally one of the finest programmers I have ever seen, and I have
seen some good ones. Out of respect, I have not borrowed any code or
ideas from Object Icon even though it is open source. If Robert
wanted Unicon to have Unicode support, he would contribute it or bless
such cross fertilization.
I can only speculate, but I think Robert wanted to have freedom and
control to change everything about Icon and make it how he wanted it,
and for Unicon I was holding him back by insisting, as Ralph Griswold
did, on 99+% backward compatibility. Robert has done great things for
Unicon, and I am sure he has done great things in Object Icon. I
regret that we are not at present doing great things together, but
he's gotta do what's right for him. I encourage you to check out
Object Icon further. For Unicon, our primary attentions lately have
been on concurrency and 3D and networking improvements, but we are at
a point now where new directions are sought, so Unicode is a great
suggestion and I hope we get some others.
Cheers,
Clint
