It 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).
