o is a 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).
I'm a big fan of the possibilities that IO brings to the table. Lazy evaluation, and IO's intensely powerful code introspection are very alluring, especially when you consider the lean and embeddable nature of the IO VM.
What does the future hold for IO? what cool new tricks are up your sleeve?
For my own desires, I'd rather have a syntax with fewer parentheses.
