Lets add an Io interpreter to the mix!

(For those who don't know: Io is very powerful, but also very slow.)

Steve Dekorte (creator of Io) has already been thinking about an Io implementation on top of Javascript.

Should be a relatively good fit, with both languages having prototypal oo. I wonder how he would implement the metaprogramming parts of Io.

I see its actually more than just thinking because he has a repo called "Io port to Javascript (node.js)" on github: https://github.com/stevedekorte/oia
