I played around with neural nets in Icon a few
years ago.  Bottom line:  the flexibility of
Icon in manipulating lists and other data structures
was a big plus at development time, but you would
want to be in C for serious work due to the hard
requirement for raw speed (plus the complexity of
your program is not a real driving factor in this
kind of work).
