Have any of you out there played with Icon?

I've used it for a program (to solve a real problem) that does quite a
lot of string processing (the only other choices were C and Basic, so
Icon's string-processing was quite a boon).  It seems to me that the
"generator" features were less useful than I would have expected --
only the simplest loops could be elminated.
