I am very happy to announce that Ioke P has finally been released!

Ioke is a language that is designed to be as expressive as possible. It is a dynamic language targeted at the Java Virtual Machine. There also exists a version for the CLR. It’s been designed from scratch to be a highly flexible general purpose language. It is a prototype-based programming language that is inspired by Io, Smalltalk, Lisp and Ruby.

The two specific releases that encompass Ioke P are ikj 0.4.0 and ikc 0.4.0.

Ioke P is the fourth release of Ioke. It includes many new features compared to Ioke E:

• Number Infinity
• eval
• Reflector
• Hooks
• First class Runtime
• New parser
• Tuples
• Structs
• Destructuring assignment
• Message rewriting
• Functional composition
• Sequences
• Dictionary and Set versions of Enumerable methods
• Enumerable group, Enumerable groupBy
• Set operations for union, intersection, membership, subset and superset testing
• ISpec stubbing and mocking
• IIk history
• DokGen on separate projects

Ioke P also includes a large amount of bug fixes.

Features:

• Expressiveness first
• Strong, dynamic typing
• Prototype based object orientation
• Homoiconic language
• Simple syntax
• Powerful macro facilities
• Condition system
• Aspects
• Java integration
• Developed using TDD
• Documentation system that combines documentation with specs
• Runs on both the JVM and the CLR

The many things added in Ioke P could not have been done without the support of all the Ioke contributors. Thank you!

The last two weeks I’ve been furiously coding away to be able to do this. And I’m finally at the goal. I am very happy to announce that the first release of Ioke for the CLR is finished. It runs on both Mono and .NET.

Ioke is a language that is designed to be as expressive as possible. It is a dynamic language targeted at several virtual machines. It’s been designed from scratch to be a highly flexible general purpose language. It is a prototype-based programming language that is inspired by Io, Smalltalk, Lisp and Ruby.

Ioke E ikc is the first release of the ikc Ioke machine. The ikc machine is implemented in C# and F# and run’s on Mono and .NET. It includes all the features of Ioke E ikj, except for Java integration. Integration with .NET types will come in another release.

Features:

• Expressiveness first
• Strong, dynamic typing
• Prototype based object orientation
• Homoiconic language
• Simple syntax
• Powerful macro facilities
• Condition system
• Aspects
• Runs on both the JVM and the CLR
• Developed using TDD
• Documentation system that combines documentation with specs

There are several interesting pieces in ikc. Among them I can mention a new regular expression engine (called NRegex), a port of many parts of gnu.math, providing arbitrary precision math, and also an implementation of BigDecimal in C#.
