Io 1.0 is compilers software developed by Steve Dekorte.
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.
    This development program is freeware, so you can download and use it absolutely free. Io 1.0 supports different languages (including english). It works with Mac OS X.

    Downloading Io 1.0 will take minute if you use fast ADSL connection.
