Are there any applications written in the Io programming language? (Or, distributing Io applications
- by Rayne
I've recently become interested in prototype-based OOP, and I've been playing with Io and Ioke. Distributing an application with Ioke is simple. It's on the JVM. Need I say more? However, I'm absolutely stumped as to how one would distribute an Io application, especially on Windows. It's not like you can have end-users compile Io to run your application.
I was actually shocked the Io has gone for 8 years without forming some sort of standards for things like distribution. Ruby has gems, Java has jars, and so on.
The worse thing about it is, I can't find a single application written in Io to maybe steal ideas on distribution from. Maybe I suck at google searching (Io is a horrible search name, by the way ;P).
Is there any sort of canonical way to distribute Io applications? Are there even any Io applications in existence, or am I just missing the point?
I'm not sure if this should be community wiki or not. If you think it should, comment and let me know.
