==History==
Gosu began in 2002 as a scripting language called [[GScript]] at Guidewire Software. It was used to configure [[business logic]] in Guidewire's applications and was more of a simple rule definition language. In its original incarnation it followed [[ECMAScript]] guidelines. Guidewire enhanced the scripting language over the next 8 years, and released Gosu 0.7 beta to the community in November 2010. The 0.8 beta was released in December 2010, and 0.8.6 beta was released in mid-2011 with additional typeloaders, making Gosu capable of loading [[XML Schema (W3C)|XML schema definition]] files and XML documents as native Gosu types. The latest version is 1.10, released in January 2016, along with a new IntelliJ IDEA editor plugin.
Active development of Gosu inside Guidewire has ceased as the company's newer engineering management has moved the company's focus away from highly configurable applications. As a consequence the Gosu development team has dispersed, it's creator, Scott McKinney, moving on to a new project, namely [https://github.com/manifold-systems/manifold Manifold].
