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.
Let me say it again then, although I do not know why it threatens people so much: the syntax of boo is indeed virtually identical to python's. That is what I said and what is clear from the website.
I already stated that I will not mention boo again, to comply with Fredrik's wishes and yours. I will refer to CPython, and CPython only. But I will not be intimidated by the likes of Fredrik Lundh. Trollers will be held accountable. If it continues at this pace, then I suggest a weekly troll alert, to educate and prepare the so-called newbies for the behavior that occurs on this list.
