Ok, you are right, only members can view it... Ok, here is the page:
Why to use Boo.
Edit<http://groups.google.com/group/battle-programming/edit/why-to-use-boo>
Ok, guys, here is a simple example why to use Boo instead of c#.
As I said before, Boo will help you develop and debug your classes faster.
Look at this sample code for generating md5 hash in C#:
**
*using System;
using HackFramework.BasicAlgorithms;
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length == 1)
{
MD5Class x = new MD5Class(args[0]);
Console.WriteLine(x.ToString());
}
else
Console.WriteLine("Usage: md5hash <string>");
}
}*
and now the same in Boo:
*import HackFramework.BasicAlgorithms
if argv.Length==1:
x = MD5Class(argv[0])
print x.ToString()
else:
print "Usage: md5hash <string>"
*
7 lines instead of 16 doing the same thing.
Code in Boo is very simple, wrist-friendly and can be used as script,
compiled to .exe or used in Boo Interactive Shell in throw-away mode (if you
are testing something, you don't need the "test code" more than once)
Well, I am not telling you to stop using C#. I program only in C#, but if I
have some class I want to test its functionality, I do it in Boo.
It is also pointless for me to make some simple utilities as md5hash in C#
for you, C# is for real coding :)
