I just re­al­ized I have not learned a whole new re­al lan­guage in al­most 5 years.

I have learned a few di­alect­s, some mi­nor stuff to work around or through an ob­sta­cle in some pro­jec­t, but I have not writ­ten a whole pro­gram in any­thing but python since 2001.

So, since I don't want my brain to turn in­to mues­li, I will now pro­ceed to learn Io .

Nice OO lan­guage, pro­to­type­-based, which is some­thing I haven't run in­to out­side of JS, I think, a sort of LISPy fla­vor, with a dash of smalltalk for pi­quan­cy.

Maybe I will get re­al­ly bored with it, maybe not :-)

And yes, the pre­vi­ous post was about hav­ing the idea of hack­ing a Qt bind­ing for it, but it's prob­a­bly not doable right now, since ex­tend­ing the lan­guage is pret­ty much un­doc­u­ment­ed, and ex­tend­ing it in C++ is un­heard of.

To top that, it us­es con­tin­u­a­tion­s, which prob­a­bly cause all kinds of hell on Qt's mem­o­ry man­age­ment :-(
