Regardless of the merits of Boo, this is comp.lang.python, not 
comp.lang.boo.  The language may *look* like Python, but its inner 
workings are nothing like Python, as several people have correctly 
pointed out now.  (Just like Java's syntax may look like C or C++ in 
some areas, but the languages are nowhere near alike.)  Pointing out the 
difference is not trolling.
