If anyone is looking for a non trivial example, there is a port of jasmine to io which is very readable.
There is a chapter on io in the first Seven Languages in Seven Weeks and it is available online as an excerpt PDF.
io
I can very much recommend it, playing with Io was a lot of fun to get introduced to OOP concepts when taken to the extreme.
Back in the earlier days of io I got a Symbian port working: https://bluishcoder.co.nz/radio/2004/09/06.html
It was a great little language for on device hacking.
My first reaction is that the name is rather egregiously unsearchable.
In 2002, what really was searchable? Google existed, but wasn’t great. Directories were even still a thing then.
Yeah I think Go should be an example on how NOT to choose a name for a language (I call it “Golang” all the time because of that)
