Io Language Basics

Question

I am working on a project on the Io language. There is very little documentation on the language. I was hoping that some of you would have input on the following:

• Single Dispatch
• Multiple Dispatch
• Arity Overloading
• Type Overloading
• Property Visibility
• Feature Renaming

What are they? Can you provide any examples? Thank you, for any help you can provide. I have enjoyed what I have learned so far and like the language, but it is quite tough to understand as a beginner.

Answer 1

• Single Dispatch
• Multiple Dispatch

Io has dynamic dispatch.

• Arity Overloading
• Type Overloading
• Property Visibility
• Feature Renaming

Io can do all these and all properties (at least those stored in slots) are visible.
