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'.
