#2Yet another programming language. I wish I was that rich that I could just throw money at people to develop yet another programming language. I think at this point programming languages do more harm than good. Why, because some poor fellow is going to spend time that he could be using to cure cancer but instead he reinventing the wheel in some language that he is going to be sick of by time he if 35 - 40 years of age and realizes that language evangelism is a scourge upon the face of mother Earth.

Because Bosque has Visual Studio integration, I suspect it's purpose is related to that. A DSL for the purpose of integrating its abstractions into existing mainstream tools...a language built to investigate and solve Microsoft's problems. Maybe it becomes mainstream. But like most programming languages, it's unlikely because most individuals and organizations aren't trying to solve the problem it was built to solve.

some poor fellow is going to spend time that he could be using to cure cancer...
Wait til you hear about “forums” on the web.
People spend an incredible amount of time arguing about things in “comments”, when they could be curing cancer.

No, people don't argue about stuff on web forums. That's crazy.

I respectfully disagree, some do.

Do you suggest we should stop making new languages? There are a lot of problems with current languages.

#9Hi project owner (Mark) here. It is a bit late in the evening for me but I will try to answer any questions when I can.
The Bosque language is currently in a very early state with lots of work to do and not ready for practical use. However, I am very excited by the potential in the concepts and wanted to make the project a collaborative endeavor, including both other academics and developer community, from the start. At this point the goal is to explore interesting options in the language design space – whether the Bosque language becomes mainstream or just provides useful ideas for other languages to adopt. So, please take a look, expect plenty of rough edges, and we would love comments, suggestions, and PR’s on the GitHub repo.
