The latter... To be honest, I thought about contributing - Steve Dekorte, the author, stopped developing the language, but is relatively responsive on GitHub and merges PRs - but I had to stop that side-project just before doing any real work on VM side. I wanted to add destructuring to the language and wanted it to work with operators so that, given suitable definitions of [], ... and <- this:
[a,b,...,z] <- aLongList
would work - you could write destructuring support in pure Io if not for that requirement.
I don't have the time for it right now (edit: and anyway, there's a limit to how much a single person can do), though, so the only thing I can do is to advocate the language and encourage its use. Which I'm trying to do right now :-) I also have a blog post on Io waiting to be published, I'll post it once I resolve the issues with my blog's domain.
