[comp.sys.atari.st] Icon Programming

Has anybody written any programs in Icon for the Atari ST?

I've just looked at some of the documentation on Icon.  It looks like
a comprehensive language and programming environment.  I've used
SNOBOL in the past and found it very interesting.  In particular, the
documentation states that there is a programming library that contains
an object oriented system.

Glancing at the documents, it seemed that Icon's syntax is much more
like C than SNOBOL.  If someone has some simple (but not completely
trivial) code samples of Icon to share, I would very much like to see
it before investing time figuring out what Icon is like.  I would be
especially interested in any object oriented Icon code.

Thanks,
Eric
