Removed "In March 2018, active development of Gosu inside Guidewire ceased." line; disputed by Guidewire, which has continued development internally, and released new versions internally. See "Talk" tab. Perhaps separate "internal" and "open source" status would be more meaningful and correct. |

==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.
Beginning March 2018, 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].
