It reminds me so much of Io, that I'm a bit disappointed that Io is not mentioned in the "its design is inspired by ..." text at the top of the first page.

- silentbicycle 16y agoIt does mention Slate, among others. After skimming the intro, I was similarly surprised it didn't mention Self, but it was probably more directly influenced by Slate. (Slate and Io were both strongly influenced by Self.)
- vito 16y agoSelf and Io are both languages that have similar concepts but weren't direct inspiration; in Self's case, it was pure chance (I've never actually used Self), and in Io's case, Slate was a more direct influence. Io didn't have much mindshare, despite being another language I love (but never use).
