Hi, I've become interested in learning Io and using it for game development and was wondering how its performance compares to c and/or objective-c. Of course,...
Hi all, I think it's nice that Io is going to have a bug tracker again. Is it possible to answer to reports on GitBug? I can't see a button for that even if...

I suppose a use case would be apropos. It'll be very bad, but design isn't what this is about. Consider the utility object "Math" containing an "add" method...
