Any Linux can run Objective-C, there is no doubt. I know, that there are Linux SBC`s. (See for instance
http://www.linuxdevices.com/ as a good source for examples.)
But as a rule (not as a law!) most embeded SBC`s do not run any OS but simple a program in an endless loop in limited memory. (That is a matter of cost.) Such a loop with an integrated interpreter of a reflective language is an interesting thing. I would recommend the Io makers not to cut off that "exotic" application branch without an impediment.
Do not understand that as any critics on Io, but just to check the application limits and to answer the question for myself: only for fun or just for fun with an unlimited application perspective.
