Boo (programming language)

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 24.189.123.128 (talk) at 02:35, 15 June 2015 (Codehaus.org is recently closed, there's no other website so their github should suffice as it provides the most information. Also I'm sure any other articles pointing to codehaus need to be updated as well.).

Boo is an object-oriented, statically typed, general-purpose programming language that seeks to make use of the Common Language Infrastructure's support for Unicode, internationalization, and web applications, while using a Python-inspired syntax[1] and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility. Some features of note include type inference, generators, multimethods, optional duck typing, macros, true closures, currying, and first-class functions. Boo has been actively developed since 2003.

Code samples

Hello world program

print "Hello World!"

Fibonacci series generator function

def fib():
    a, b = 0L, 1L       # The 'L's make the numbers double word length (typically 64 bits)
    while true:
        yield b
        a, b = b, a + b

# Print the first 5 numbers in the series:
for index as int, element in zip(range(5), fib()):
    print("${index+1}: ${element}")
