As of this writing, Ioke E is the latest release of the Ioke programming language.

Here's the original announcement:

Ioke E released
---------------

Ioke is a language that is designed to be as expressive as possible.
It is a dynamic language targeted at the Java Virtual Machine.
It's been designed from scratch to be a highly flexible general
purpose language. It is a prototype-based programming language
that is inspired by Io, Smalltalk, Lisp and Ruby.
