Philosophy [edit]
Ioke was designed for expressiveness, above all else including performance. It was designed to be its own most important tool, and is an example of language-oriented programming, and encourages the creation of domain-specific languages.[1]
Status [edit]
Ioke was first announced on November 6, 2008.[2] Ioke's code contains documentation and unit tests.
