What is "ioke"

Ioke is the Hawaiian language equivalent for the name Joyce (name). It may also refer to:

• Hurricane Ioke (2006)
• Ioke (programming language)
• Ioke (mythology), personification of pursuit in Greek mythology

Ioke is a dynamic, strongly typed, prototype-based programming language targeting the Java Virtual Machine and the Common Language Runtime. It was designed by Ola Bini, a developer of JRuby. It has a very simple homoiconic syntax, somewhat similar to Io.

In Greek mythology, Ioke is the female personification of onslaught, battle-tumult, and pursuit. In the Iliad, she is one of the daimones, or spirits, of Zeus's aegis. The other daimones are Phobos, Eris and Alke.

The Ancient Greek word is a rare doublet for "rout, pursuit", from the common verb "drive, pursue, chase away".
