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.

  • user1854212, if you ever come back and see this question (with 16 total rep after a whole year, I doubt it), be more specific. You have an opportunity to ask at least 6 distinct questions, get more rep, and make info on StackOverflow richer regarding the Io language. If I continue on with Io, maybe I'll ask some of these. – labyrinth Dec 02 '13 at 04:47

  • 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.

    The questioner is looking for more a elaborate answer than a re-categorization of the provided list. – JoshDM Dec 12 '12 at 18:29
