Microsoft’s New Programming Language ‘Bosque’ Keeps Your Code Simple
Microsoft has launched a new programming language called Bosque. The company says Bosque has been designed to write code that is “simple, obvious, and easy to reason” for both humans and machines. The purpose of this open-source project is to develop a functional programming language that prevents “accidental complexity” in coding and development. Codes generated in Bosque language are supposed to be simple and easy by adopting algebraic operations and avoiding techniques that create complexity. Bosque is the brainchild of Microsoft’s computer scientist Mark Marron and is based on syntax and types of TypeScript. It also uses the semantics ML and Node/JavaScript. Marron describes the new language as a move to shift from the paradigm of structured programming that became popular since the 1970s. In a structured programming model, the flow control is managed through loops, conditionals, and subroutines. Bosque gets rid of sources of comple...
