This is apt. I just started the io chapter in Seven Languages in Seven Weeks. I can't imagine putting anything in production with it, but I guess I just don't completely understand what io excels at yet.

FWIW, Pixar uses Io in production. It's used as an embeded scripting language for their IT (Image Processing) application and for some build systems. It's edge is simplicity and flexibility, though this is (as usual) traded off for some performance.

BTW, I was just doing Oia as a low priority fun project. If folks are interested enough, I'll try to get a proper working release out.

Consider me interested.

I have been waiting for this forever.

I think it's a neat idea at the very least. I'd love to see what comes of it.
