If anyone would like to fund it, I could make it happen quickly. 
Otherwise, it (at least my port) will have to wait until I can fund it with my free time.

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
