Prototype purity in a language small enough to learn in a day — everything a message, everything an object, Self's ideas in modern clothes.

Influenced by Self
Created by Steve Dekorte

Steve Dekorte's Io (2002) — a tiny prototype language — made everything a message to an object with a prototype chain, in ~10K lines of C.\n\nIt is the purest expression of Self's model — the language Io language hobbyists study for its minimalism.
