Io is not very fast, even slower than Ruby.
Io is beautiful, elegant and slow. The fact that it's slow doesn't mean it's not worth learning or even using in production. Commenter could have put it in other words, well he didn't, but downvoters: you will not change the fact that it's slow by giving -1.
Do we have an era of wishful-thinking driven comment voting?

Definitely not interested in another dynamically typed language, no matter how elegant.

Depending on what you want to do, Io can be really fast. It has SIMD support built in so for some structures it can be faster than unoptimized C.
I cannot get over how beautiful that site design is.
Yes I also find it very aesthetically pleasing. And it's also very functional as well. For eg, see the search on the Reference page: http://www.iolanguage.com/scm/io/docs/reference/index.html Steve Dekorte, the creator of Io, also uses same site design on his on website/blog: http://dekorte.com/

That's what I didn't know, relying on my previous encounters and specific tests. Thank you for pointing this!
