%%name: Io
%%short-description: A small prototype-based programming language
%%full-description:
Io is small prototype-based programming language. The ideas in Io are
mostly inspired by Smalltalk(all values are objects) and
Act1(differential protos, inheritance by delegation) and it's decendents
such as Self, and NewtonScript.
Features:
- small (~8K lines)
- pure object language
- reasonably fast (comparable to Python, Perl, Ruby)
- differential prototype-based object model
- untyped
- dynamically scoped
- mark and sweep garbage collection
- exceptions
- ANSI C implementation (except for inline directive)
- embeddable
- multi-state (multiple independent VMs can run in the same application)
- coroutines (light wieght threads)
