Io Description

Io is small prototype-based programming language Io is small prototype-based programming language. The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by Smalltalk (all values are objects), Self (prototype-based), NewtonScript (differential inheritance), Act1 (actors and futures for concurrency), LISP (code is a runtime inspectable/modifiable tree) and Lua (small, embeddable).Here are some key features of "Io":· open source BSD license · pure object language · small VM (~16K C statements, 8K Io specific) · small memory footprint (between 64K-200K depending on the platform) · reasonably fast (comparable to Python, Perl, Ruby) · incremental collector, weak links · differential prototype-based object model · dynamic typing · exceptions · ANSI C implementation (except for coroutines) · embeddable · multi-state (multiple VMs can run in the same application) · actor-based concurrency · coroutines · 64 bit clean.
