Just thinking about this:
I assume Boo would have the same problem as C# when using anonymous methods: viz. there is no way to 'unwire' the event if that should be neccessary?

If I can cut out half the typing I do (and I don't think it will be that much, probably more like 20-30%) over the next 15 years of my working career, I would like that. This is all individual, of course; I have a couple of friends who type code out at 90+ words per minute. For myself (I'm sure this is not universal), having fewer superfluous words means I can focus on the meat of what is being done. à chacun son goût, as they say.

>>>At the most, Boo's compiler does more, as I indicated. For example, if I have a button b, then I can define an eventhandler and an eventhandler method like so:
>>>
>>>b.Click += def(o,e):
>>> b.Text = "Clicked"
>>
>>Not sure what the (o,e) means, but in C# you simple do:
>>

>>b.Click += ButtonClick
