Add examples directory with runnable code samples
Create the /examples directory referenced in README with runnable code examples from various chapters of the book. Includes: - Basic Hello World and Todo List (Chapter 2) - Prototype inheritance demonstrations (Chapter 4) - Closure and functional programming examples (Chapter 9) - Metaprogramming and dynamic method creation (Chapter 11) - Concurrency with coroutines and futures (Chapter 12) - HTML DSL implementation (Chapter 13) Each example is a standalone, runnable Io program that demonstrates key concepts from the corresponding chapter. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
