Two of the newest programming languages that I think have potential are Io and Rust. Io is a mash up of languages with speed similar to lua and has a list like syntax of lisp.

I wonder if anyone can explain why they have not tried to incorporate some of lisp's syntax as it is more efficient for linked lists I think. And I thought part of the reason for Rust's development was for very fast/efficient concurrency that is properly garbage collected.



>>Io is a mash up of languages with speed similar to lua...

Please provide some examples that show Io speed similar to Lua.


Actually what I read here seems rather relevant to my opinion on what maybe should be discussed about implementation to Rust: http://www.antigreen.org/vadim/ProgLanguageComparison/lisp-c...


I enjoyed playing with IO a lot years ago, not sure I'd define it "newest" since it's around 10 years old now
