I’m a big fan of Io, but, sadly, it is no longer maintained. I’ve toyed around with writing a more minimalistic implementation suitable for lua-style embedding

  That's true, although I'd say it's still maintainable, and Steve Dekorte still accepts Pull Requests. I had a bit of an adventure with Io last year[1], which was part of a side-project I had in mind for a very long time, namely a MUD server in the style of LPMUDs. I learned a lot and even wrote some of the code for the server, then decided to port pyparsing (parser combinator library) to Io, and then - as usual - the life happened and I forgot about it. Still, that project was with me for the past 20 years, and I believe I will get back to it at some point[2]... all that just to say that I'm not going to become the main maintaner, but if there are just a few interested people, I'd be willing to help :) [1] https://klibert.pl/posts/adding_destructuring_bind_to_io.html https://klibert.pl/posts/adding_destructuring_bind_to_io.htm...
