| The main difference is that boo is statically typed with type inference. Syntax-wise it is like Python, but feature-wise it is also similar to C#. It implements many features that have been suggested for ["Python3.0"], including a "with" statement and optional explicit static typing declarations ("x as int"). Extra features include anonymous methods`/`closures, custom macros and attributes (similar to PythonDecorators), and soon, optional case-insensitivity. | The main difference is that boo is statically typed with type inference.
