A guide to Boo's metaprogramming and extensibility features?

Question

I'm interested in learning about Boo's more powerful features such as syntactic macros, parser support (Ometa?), compiler pipeline, etc. My impression is that these areas have been in flux and somewhat under-documented. Are there any good resources for learning about these things other than studying the source code?

Answer 1

There's Building Domain Specific Languages in Boo. I got an early early access edition and found it frustrating for the "flux" reason you mentioned; I finally gave up. Hopefully things have stabilized since then.

Answer 2

I haven't looked through this site extensively, but it appears it may have the best references for Boo: http://boo.codehaus.org/Tutorials
