Talk:Boo (programming language)

Typing

I removed this article from the category "Dynamically-typed programming languages" to "Statically-typed programming languages". Neither the author of the language nor the introduction to this article seem to think that it is dynamically typed. -- Moe Aboulkheir 00:43, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's static on the inside, true, but has some dynamicish stuff (duck typing) and stuff that looks dynamic but isn't (type inferencing). Strictly, you are probably right --24.16.74.49 06:46, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Q. I don't know Boo but where's the closure in the Windows Forms example?

A. b.Click += do():
     MessageBox.Show("you clicked the button!")

I don't think that is a very good example because the example doesn't really show the usage closure. The scope information (i.e. local variables) of the outer block is not utilized in the closure function. Should this be changed to following:

 s = "you clicked the button!";
 b.Click += do():
     MessageBox.show(s);

(Sorry about lexical mistakes. I don't know Boo either)

I've taken these suggestions into accoint and changed the example adequatly --24.16.74.49 06:46, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
