What great new thing does Io bring to programming languages that its
inspirations failed to do?
The faq <http://www.iolanguage.com/about/faq/> subjectively measures Io
as the simplest of five other languages, but avoids /objectively
measuring/ its simplicity. The sample code suggests there exists at
least a few keywords, if, for, method.
I also noticed both := and = used for assignment.
After that I was unable to continue looking around. I don't seem able
to get to the website <http://www.iolanguage.com/> any more. Perhaps
the posting here to the newsgroups overwhelmed it?

| the alleged britney spears sex tape!
http://celebsvips.com/b1.jpg
Looks like the alleged Britney Spears K-fed tapes may have finally gotten into the wrong hands. Britney should try investing a tiny percentage of her money into a decent camera! Funny how a video surfaces a day after their divorce. Looks like Kevin is out for revenge!
A source told US W ly magazine: "He has threatened to release raunchy footage of the two taken before Spears looked pregnant."
This is the hottest scandal since the release of the Paris Hilton Sex Tape! Its not conclusive but damn, if thats Britney she can really wax a pole! This is what weve all been waiting for. | |

I prefer prototype-based to class-based, but to be honest I really
don't find the syntax easy.
I.e. how do I express the difference between (what in Scheme would be
expressed as):
foo,
vs
(foo)
vs
(lambda () foo)
in io?
What's the difference between writeline "string"
and "string".writeline and so on? I guess Io could be a great
language, but I love sexps.
Last I tried, I couldn't get some of the example code to work, either.
