So the most significant posts about Io are only in the wayback machine? Really?

  Well "significant" is your words not mine :) Unfortunately _why disappeared off the net and with it went (most of) his sites including this predominately Ruby blog site (Hackety.org). Who knows perhaps it might get resurrected one day. But at least its not lost thanks to WayBackMachine. BTW... All of _why's code was saved here: http://github.com/whymirror http://github.com/whymirror And among this you can find a small web framework he wrote in Io: http://github.com/whymirror/yown http://github.com/whymirror/yown

    He also created a language of his own which was inspired by Io: http://github.com/fogus/potion http://github.com/fogus/potion (and here's the pamphlet: http://runciter.net/potion http://runciter.net/potion )

      Yes I was following this quite avidly before _why's disappearance. Also I liked CoffeeScript version of the pamphlet: http://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/blob/master/examples/potion.coffee http://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/blob/master/exampl... I did (for my own leisure) write Perl5 version of this pamphlet. As some point will also do Io & Perl6 versions methinks.
