Allocation is static.

Pattern matching + "fail" concept. Snobol4 has lots of datatypes.
Datatypes are dynamic (variables are not fixed to a specific type).
No distinction between programs and data ("EVAL" and "CODE"
functions). This property is shared with lisp.
Add:
ICON Goal-oriented evaluation. Dynamic datatypes.
Pattern matching and "fail" concept from SNOBOL.
Please resume once in a while, this will be an interesting topic.
