AFAIK, Io isn't the kind of language to be compared with Go & co. - I don't think performance is one of its strong points. Rather it is a light and embeddable language, kind of like Lua.
- stevedekorte 12y agoIo and Lua are light and embeddable but while Io is much slower than Go (and much higher level), I suspect Lua is probably the fastest scripting language around and LuaJIT may be competitive (perhaps even faster) than lower level garbage collected systems languages like Go and Java. Looking back, I wish I had written Io in Lua.
- jevgeni 12y agoI've actually went to the Wikipedia to look up, who the creator of Io was. :) No, seriously, thank you for creating it. Although I hadn't had the chance to use it in production (most of my stuff is just numerical), Io is an incredibly enlightening language.
