I believe Io is the next best thing to Self, right?  Although maybe it's 
partly a matter of taste and interests.

IMO, the biggest problem with Io (and with Self, and with most versions 
of SmallTalk too) is lack of documentation.  For example, Io comes with 
a native http server, but it's completely undocumented.

Documentation documentation documentation.

Documentation.
