After a long time that some friends told me about boo language, finally yesterday I downloaded the trunk and began to familiarize with the language. The first thing that surprised me is the ability to break into debugger with simple instruction like these
import System.Diagnostics
Debug.Fail(”")
And your favorite debugger will show up with full support for intellisense, step and so on, I’m very pleased with this.

If you wish, SharpDevelop 2.1 has a support for boo language, so development could be much faster, i hope!
Boo is a very interesting language, maybe we could work together for a next workshop boo-focused

Yes, I use SharpDevelop for working with boo, but it was very interesting that I can debug it even in Microsoft Debugger that is not specifically dressed for boo. This is one of the most beautiful things of the .NET framework. What I miss most is the ability to include boo files in my project in visual studio, it would be fantastic if I can mix C# and boo code in one project.

“it would be fantastic if I can mix C# and boo code in one”
What do you mean? Maybe i’m wrong, but it’s impossible to mix VB and C# code in a single project.
You could instead create a class library boo project and then reference this project from a C# application…

mmmm my english is not so good
Visual studio projects cannot mix languages, so I’d like to have a boo project, exactely as you say.
