All that boo does is borrows a few syntactical constructs
from python. Calling it virtually identical
is *very* misleading.

I've downloaded and tried it when you first made this claim
and it turned out that boo couldn't directly run even
the simplest python programs, on top of that execution
speed was slower than that of the corresponding python program.
I think this entitles me to be irked by your post above.
