another interpreted language running inside of an interpreted language... sweet. All we need now is to write a perl interpreter in Lua and then run it inside of the javascript Lua interpreter and we'll really see the scripts slow down to a crawl.
- stcredzero 16y agoIt would still run about as well as Tcl. [ducks]

- draegtun 16y agoSteve Dekorte (creator of Io) has already been thinking about an Io implementation on top of Javascript. ref: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/iolanguage/message/12526 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/iolanguage/message/12526
- die_sekte 16y agoShould be a relatively good fit, with both languages having prototypal oo. I wonder how he would implement the metaprogramming parts of Io.
- draegtun 16y agoI see its actually more than just thinking because he has a repo called "Io port to Javascript (node.js)" on github: https://github.com/stevedekorte/oia https://github.com/stevedekorte/oia
