Unicon is a programming language descended from Icon that offers better access to the operating system as well as support for object oriented programming. The name is shorthand for "Unified Extended Dialect of Icon."

The new features of Unicon include

  • packages
  • exceptions as a contributed class library - see mailing list
  • loadable child programs
  • monitoring of child programs
  • dynamic loading of C modules (some platforms)
  • multiple inheritance
  • dbm files can be used as associative arrays
  • posix system interface

Unicon began life as a preprocessor named Idol.
