Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories - Naperville, Illinois Lines: 15 References: Since my last request for this was buried at the bottom of a rebuttal, I shall post this again. I would like to start a discussion on features that make programming languages interesting. I have already posted what I like about Icon, but what about other languages like CLU and Smalltalk?
