One of the python UG guys likes it. (I don't think he's on this list...) He's really into desktop GUI stuff and Boo + winforms does seem good at that. And the SharpDevelop Boo plugin seemed pretty good. OTOH some of the design decisions lead me to believe the author doesn't really understand why python hits a sweet spot, and suffers as a result. Then it has some gratuitous weirdassness thrown in for good measure. (Auto-call super? That is just wrong.) Now that IronPython is out (Boo predates its inception IIANM) I don't really have a reason to use Boo. -Jonathan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
