Small, prototype-based programming language
Io is a small prototype-based programming language. The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by ANSI Smalltalk (all values are objects) and Act1, Self, and NewtonScript (actors and futures, differential protos, inheritance by delegation).
Features:
- small (~12K lines)
- pure object language
- reasonably fast (comparable to Python, Perl, Ruby)
- differential prototype-based object model
- untyped
- incremental 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)
