Boo is a new object oriented programming language for the
CommonLanguageInfrastructure underlying
DotNet and the
MonoProject.
http://boo.codehaus.org/
It has a syntax near identical to
PythonLanguage (including features planned for Python 3.0), but Boo is a statically typed language. It does most of its work at compile-time instead of at run-time, although there are run-time features such as
DuckTyping. As such, feature-wise Boo actually has more in common with
CsharpLanguage, such as static typing (by default), (optional) explicit typing: "private x as int", interfaces, events, abstract classes, delegates, enums, properties, operator overloading, etc.
Additional features include:
CategoryProgrammingLanguage,
CategoryDotNet
