Hi g1i1ch,

I started a project to port Io to JS but haven't had time to finish it.
There have been Io ports to Java and C#. It would be nice to see a JS port.

Cheers,
Steve

Just seems to me Io would make a better javascript than javascript. It's prototype based, functional, and object-oriented. Has anyone considered making browser plugins or talking about it to say mozilla?

I've gone through the wikibook and already wrote a few programs so I'm not confused or anything. I know they're different lol, still I'd be much happier using Io everyday than javascript or dart. haha
