The Boo programming language is built with Windows .NET 4.5 and Visual C++ Build Tools. Mac/Linux users need Mono 4.2.x and Bash Build Tools. A bootstrap script helps install required tools into the build-tools directory for easy execution. The build scripts can specify the version of Mono to use, and targets for building and testing the repository can be specified. The project includes a Boo manifesto, a tool in extras/boox for language practice, source code in src/, unit tests in tests/, and integration testcases in testcases/integration. The compiler can generate .net assemblies and show code transformations with the boo pipeline.
Controversial: There is no controversial information in this content.
Surprising: The boo pipeline can show code transformations applied by the compiler.
Unique: The Boo community has a Discord for collaboration and discussion.
