BOO!
…did I scare you?
I’ve been aware of del.icio.us for quite a while now, but I’ve not really used it. Aq’s post about using it prompted me to look at it again, and I’m finding myself using it a lot now – especially thanks to the Firefox extension.
As well as posting my own bookmarks (go on, see if you can guess my username) I find it useful to browse some of the tag feeds – I’ve got several tags and users feeds listed in Bloglines.
Whilst browsing the Mono tag feed I came across BOO which describes itself as:
Boo is a new object oriented statically typed programming language for the Common Language Infrastructure with a python inspired syntax and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility.
It looks interesting, to say the least. Syntactially similar to Python but designed for the CLI. Go take a look at the mainfesto, language features and some recipes.
It’ll be interesting to see what some of my python loving friends make of the language. I know there is IronPython, but BOO is a new implementation – not adapting the old to fit the new.
Another thing to add to my (never ending) to-do list!

How do you mean ‘similar to Python but designed for the CLI’? I thought Python was designed for the CLI?

Python was designed for Python – IronPython is an implementation of python which targets the CLI. Boo is a new language based on Python, but designed purely for the CLI.
