Data structures in IO

• Student: Everett Boyer (2017).
• Purpose: Built actions (like routines) for lists and trees in the Io language, designed by Raphael Levien in 1989 and described in Advanced Programming Languages by Finkel.
• Method: Use the Amalthea compiler (created by Martin Sandin in 2003) with comments based on ML type notation to build actions that manipulate lists and binary trees.
• What the student learned
  1. The Io language (quite intricate)
  2. ML-style type notation
  3. Technical writing
