I have now added a backend binding for the language Boo to SharpDevelop 2.0.

Boo is a new object-oriented statically typed programming language for the .NET Framework with a Python-inspired syntax and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility.

The most important feature - compiling - is not yet supported because currently there is no MsBuild task for Boo. Code completion is already implemented using the parser of the Boo compiler with a custom resolver using SharpDevelop's type system. Because BooBinding is implementing SharpDevelop's parser and resolver interfaces, all the new features like tooltips, find references etc. work for Boo, too.

Code completion for Boo's type inference (a feature that C# 3.0 and VB 9 will get) is already implemented, at least for local variables. You can expect that code completion support will be extended during the next weeks and support for compiling Boo applications inside the IDE will be added.

A Boo forms designer might be coming, too.
