 Wandering around .NET: The Boo Programming Language
Boo is a fresh new language by Rodrigo de Oliveira (continuing a Brazillian tradition which marries Python-like syntax with.NET.
If Boo did not exist, I would probably have needed to invent it, since I had started to ask similar questions, asking why we needed so many braces, why couldn't the compiler do more type inference, and generally supply more syntactical sugar for common operations; generally, what makes a language agile.
Boo's doc strings (borrowed from Python) together with string interpolation makes this script very straightforward (in fact it worked the first time.) So a big project can use throw-away code which is part of the private 'implementation' of the project process, and which doesn't need to meet the standards of production code.

 BeginnerErrorsWithPythonProgramming - PythonInfo Wiki
They used Python as the programming language originally (now switched to something else).
There were two Python-specific issues that were problematic for beginners: the case-sensitivity of the language ("variable1" is not the same as "Variable1"), and integer division (a carryover from C, 3/4 = 0, not 0.75 because 0 is an integer and 0.75 is a float).
Boo programming language, which is virtually identical to Python, and they will appear in a release of boo in the near future.

 C Sharp -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
His previous experience in programming language and framework design ([[Visual J++]], Borland Delphi, Turbo Pascal) can be readily seen in the syntax of the C# language, as well as throughout the CLR (Common Language Runtime) core.
C# is, in some senses, the programming language which most directly reflects the underlying Common Language Runtime (CLR) on which all.NET programs run, and it depends strongly on this framework because it was designed specifically to take advantage of the features that the CLR provides.
Language researchers at Microsoft have emphasized that C# 3.0 is bytecode-compatible with C# 2.0 — essentially the improvements are purely syntactic or compile-time improvements.

 Programming @ ScriptGenius.com (Script Genius)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Computer programming (often simply programming or coding) is the craft of implementing interrelated abstract algorithms and concepts using a particular programming language to produce a concrete computer program.
Different programming languages require different levels of detail to be handled by the programmer when implementing algorithms, often resulting in a compromise between ease of use and performance (a trade-off between "programmer time" and "computer time").
Programming has become gradually easier as new languages are invented but this has opened the scene to script kiddies, who are generally seen as an annoyance because of their lack of skill whilst often claiming to be hackers.

 Type inference -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
It is often characteristic of — but not limited to — functional programming languages in general.
As this process is systematically performed at compile time, the compiler is often able to infer the type of a variable or the type signature of a function, without explicit type annotations having been given.
In the case of highly complex forms of higher order programming and polymorphism, it is not always possible for the compiler to infer as much, however, and type annotations are occasionally necessary for disambiguation.

Python is a Multi-paradigm programming language multi-paradigm language.
Python is sometimes refered to as a "scripting programming language", however Python proponents prefer to call it a high level dynamic programming language, on the grounds that "scripting language" implies a language whose primary use is the control of some other application.
Though the designer of Python is somewhat hostile to functional programming and the Lisp programming language Lisp tradition, there are significant parallels between the philosophy of Python and that of minimalist Lisp-family languages such as Scheme programming language Scheme.

 Dynamic .NET scripting with Boo
Boo is a Python-like scripting language for the ECMA CLR implementations such as.NET and Mono.
Boo may be reasonably characterised as Python with a little of the oddness removed, and some CLR-specific smarts added in.
Boo also makes an effort to provide convenient syntax for common and CLR idiomatic operations (including attributes and P/Invoke), and a very exciting macro feature means you can add more with ease.

 Re: Who needs another programming language?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
What I am looking to create is an easy-to-use language that is easy-to-read, yet somewhat powerful, easy to expand, and easy to do low-level work in if needed (sort of like a cross between C and VB maybe, but without all the complexity or the sometimes cryptic syntax of C/C++).
I also do not think that coming up with hundreds and hundreds of functions in a language (Java comes to mind) for the sake of "keeping programmers on their toes" is the best way to go, although my opinion of that may change as things progress.
The old issues I had with programming languages have pretty much been taken care of, but it seems like a new crop of issues has taken their place.

Squirrel is a light-weight programming language (around 6000 lines of code) that features higher-order functions, delegation, tail recursion, generators, exception handling, and automatic memory management through reference counting or garbage collection.
It interests me that programmers seem to want their favorite programming language to be "successful;" equate success with having many users; and usually posit interesting theories about what would make their language have many users and what makes languages have many users in general.

 Microsoft .NET
The two primary components of.NET are the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and the Common Language Runtime (CLR).The CLI is a set of specifications for a runtime environment, including a common type system, base class library, and a machine-independent intermediate code known as the Common Intermediate Language (CIL).
The CLI is designed to provide support for any object-oriented programming language, sharing a common object model and a large common class library.

Oberon programming language (and its successor Oberon-2) include most of the functionality of Object (computer science)s (Class (computer science)es, Method (computer science)s, Inheritance in object-oriented programming, and reusability) but in a distinctly original, and elegant, form.
Inheritance and Polymorphism in object-oriented programming are usually used to reduce code bloat, but Abstraction in object-oriented programming and Encapsulation in object-oriented programming are used to increase code clarity, quite independent of the other two.

 Boo Scares Up Open-Source Developers
Boo is a new object-oriented statically typed programming language for the Microsoft CLI (Common Language Infrastructure) with a Python inspired syntax and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility, said Rodrigo Barreto de Oliveira, the creator of the language.
"Boo was born out of my frustration with existing programming language systems and my growing love for the Common Language Infrastructure and the architectural beauty of the entire.net Framework," de Oliveira wrote in a description of the Boo language, referred to as the Boo Manifesto.
And, added de Oliveira: "Being such a hard case of not-invented-here syndrome it all became clear to me: I had to build a new programming language system for the CLI… One that could be used, extended and modified by developers according to their specific needs.
