Question

In our program we use boo as macro system about 2 years. All works like a charm, but python syntax is weird for newcomers. As I know boo has white space agnostic (WSA) compiler with ruby like syntax: instead of

def Hello():
  print  Hello

you can write:

def Hello(): #notice colon!!!
print  Hello 
end

here is ideal :)

def Hello()
  print  Hello ruby 
end

Is it safe to use?
Can it be used with default syntax side by side?
Can I covert a huge number of existing macros to WSA style?
Can I add extra colons via compiler step

Answer 1

I won t claim to know the answers to these questions, but it might help you to know that the Brail ViewEngine uses WSA Boo and it has a few macros (written in C# though). You might want to look into that code.
