Unicorn is the successor to Icon[0]. Unicorn language home page[1]
Paradigm is object oriented goal directed general purpose programming language. Technique revolves around the use of co-routines/generators.[2][3]
Short points per -- python semantics --:
More formal/mature semantics than python, less parentheses/more robust than ARC[4]
Language design has been around for multiple decades.
Icon/Unicorn language features seem less 'ground breaking' today compared to 80's / 90's.
Modern day use as a nice high level language to use as framework/ide where end result gets compiled to java script / java.
