I’ve been toying with Io off and on for the past couple of years. Something I always forget about is that if you are building on OS X, try the following command:

sudo make port

The port directive to make tells the builder to use port to try and find all relevant libraries/downloads and build them in the process. It will save you a shitload of time trying to find everything you need for a quick, clean build.

A Java IDE vendor promoting their wares with:

“JCreator is written entirely in C++, which makes it fast and efficient compared to the Java based editors/IDE’s.”

Oh the irony.
