Microsoft debuts Bosque – a new programming language with no loops, inspired by TypeScript

Meh

the worst of all worlds...

"Presently, Bosque relies on an interpreter written in TypeScript, run on Node.js"

Doesn't that pretty much say it all? (I hear a loud 'Eeewwww')

How long before Micro-shaft starts CRAMMING it at us like:

a) Windows 10 and "the Store"

b) ".Net"

c) C-pound

d) Silverlight

e) 'the Metro' and UWP (in general)

f) A DevStudio that requires EXCESSIVE mousie-clickie in a "property sheet" instead of the old-style tabbed dialog boxen (with easiy discovered hot keys) that you used to see in the dialog editor and class wizard of earlier VC++ IDEs...

etc.

And how is this better than Python for doing that sort of thing?

And what's wrong with a loop?

and don't EVEN get me started about un-typed data storage and garbage collection... which from what I can tell, seem to be unspoken 'features'.
