Io is a very interesting language, but it is, at this point, militantly 
gcc+bash+a-whole-bunch-of-UNIXisms-dependent.  If you're working in a 
UNIX-like environment, it's simple enough to port (although BSD users 
keep getting the shaft on occasion).  If you're not working in a 
UNIX-like environment it is, in its current state, verging on the useless.

Me, I'll probably be using Io in many projects.  In about two years' 
time.  In its current state it has very little use to me (although a lot 
of appeal).
