Computing pioneer Ralph Griswold, the creator of Icon, has contributed a foundation for both the philosophy behind and the use of the language. Ron Cytron writes a unique essay on Intermediate Languages and Series Editor-in-Chief, Peter H. Salus provides a foreword on the development of computer languages. The material about the languages themselves will enable the reader to evaluate which is most suitable for the task at hand.
