Hope they will add this link on the site: https://github.com/IoLanguage/io/tree/master/samples/misc
A code snippet showing a simple program right on the home page and "selling" whatever features makes it special would go a long way. It's quite off-putting to have to delve deep into a guide in order to get a feel for a language.
Some examples done right:

https://elixir-lang.org
https://imba.io
https://ocaml.org

There is an implementation of Io for GraalVM: https://github.com/guillermomolina/graal-io
This guy started furiously implementing it at the beginning of the year but stopped at the end of February. ( My guess is he's got a new job ).
There have been many attempts at implementing the language in a "more solid" base, ie. on top of "languages" that take care of garbage collection like JS, Go, Java/JVM.
I hadn't the opportunity to test this Graal implementation, since I didn't have the time and it is/was a very much work-in-progress and some scripts aren't supported on Windows, but I suspect a complete and community supported Graal implementation will be the ticket for Io.
It's be an incredible dynamic language paired with an incredible strong and robust VM and ecosystem( think libraries, tools, manpower, etc. )
I really hoped I had the chops at language implementation to make this a reality, but after watching the development I'm waayy out of this league.
