The Boo extensibility tutorials
Boo’s compiler extensibility is an extremely nice feature which sometimes make me talk about the next generation of programming languages. For me it’s about being able to create frameworks in a more powerful way, not being restricted by language syntax.
One problem with Boo is that lack of tutorials and help to everyone that wants to start out with Boo. I have spent quite some time scanning the Boo source code, trying and failing, and forever searching the web for information, never finding anything. It’s been a long road for me to learn the language, and I do not think it should be this hard for everyone else.
So, I’ve spent some time writing some tutorials on Boo’s compiler extensibility. Hope they help!
