Re: Has anyone thought about Io in the browser

I would if I had any money right now, currently working at a startup in sydney pushing the boundaries of javascript canvas games. Made an engine that works on any browser and platform and a game nearly done for chromestore and intel so I'll let you know if it pays out ;). And if it does I wouldn't mind helping too.
Playing around with Io it really should be more known and used, I just think it'd make a perfect fit making webapps!

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
