HN discussionAs well as being a bad-ass programmer, Steve Dekorte is also a great example of this neavu-minimalism. His blog and Io show how deeply he has taken this "philosophy" ( http://dekorte.com and http://www.iolanguage.com ). I also don't want to sound too creepy but he has a awesome apartment: http://twitter.com/stevedekorte/status/10954098266 and http://twitter.com/stevedekorte/status/10901308299

HN discussionYes, they are confusing the two. We have a minimal shopping site ( http://stylous.com/ ) that is not minimal on content. My co-founder, Steve Dekorte, is the primary designer. His blog uses a minimal design without being minimal on content ( http://dekorte.com/blog/blog.cgi ) as does his programming language ( http://www.iolanguage.com/ ).

We're currently working on a shopping aggregation startup. The crawler is written in Io. Pixar's RenderMan image tool uses Io as its scripting language: https://renderman.pixar.com/products/tools/it.html Io is still under development so you migh…
