  Description     : a python-like language and compiler for the CLI

Boo is considered ready for general usage and runs fine on mono.
In fact mono its the primary target platform.  The licence is
custom but looks DFSG compatible.

My initial boo package is here:

 http://people.debian.org/~samo/experimental/

Long Description:

 Boo is an object oriented statically typed programming language
 for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) with a Python inspired
 syntax and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility.
 .
 This package includes the Boo libraries as well as a compiler,
 interpreter and interactive shell.  The boo compiler and the
 programs it produces are 100% CIL and can be run on any compliant
 CLI virtual machine.
