Thanks for the thoughtful response. I can definitely see your point. > How do you handle line numbers in Boo?

The System.Reflection.Emit API takes care of everything though so it's just a matter of calling ILGenerator.MarkSequencePoint at the appropriate times. Cecil is also a great way of reading and writing .net assemblies and can automatically handle debugging info generation as well. But again I see your point. Java line table attributes provide a simpler solution indeed.
