Bosque is a
free and open-source programming language designed & developed by Microsoft that was inspired by the syntax and types of TypeScript and the semantics of ML and Node/JavaScript.[3][4] Design goals for the language include better software quality and improved developer productivity.[5][6]
Overview
Bosque was designed by Microsoft Research computer scientist Mark Marron,[7] who describes the language as an effort to move beyond the structured programming model that became popular in the 1970s.[3][8]
The structured programming paradigm, in which flow control is managed with loops, conditionals, and subroutines, became popular after a 1968 paper titled "
loops
, mutable state, and reference equality. The result is Bosque, which represents a programming paradigm that Marron, in a paper he wrote, calls "regularized programming."
The Bosque specification, parser, type checker, reference interpreter, and IDE support are licensed under MIT License and available on GitHub.[9]
Examples
Add two numbers
function add2(x: Int, y: Int): Int {
return x + y;
}
add2(2, 3) // 5
add2(x=2, y=3) // 5
add2(y=2, 5) // 7
