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] type inference , generators , multimethods , optional duck typing , macros , true closures , currying , and first-class functions . Boo has been actively developed since 2003.
Boo is free software released under an MIT /BSD –style license. It is compatible with both the Microsoft .NET and Mono frameworks.
Code samples Hello world program 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}" )
