Overview of this book

Bosque is a new high-level programming language inspired by the impact of structured programming in the 1970s. It adopts the TypeScript syntax and ML semantics and is designed for writing code that is easy to reason about for humans and machines. With this book, you'll understand how Bosque supports high productivity and cloud-first development by removing sources of accidental complexity and introducing novel features. This short book covers all the language features that you need to know to work with Bosque programming. You'll learn about basic data types, variables, functions, operators, statements, and expressions in Bosque and become familiar with advanced features such as typed strings, bulk algebraic data operations, namespace declarations, and concept and entity declarations. This Bosque book provides a complete language reference for learning to program with Bosque and understanding the regularized programming paradigm. You'll also explore real-world examples that will help you to reinforce the knowledge you've acquired. Additionally, you'll discover more advanced topics such as the Bosque project structure and contributing to the project. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to configure the Bosque environment and build better and reliable software with this exciting new open-source language.

Identifying immutable values

Building software is complex, especially in our rapidly changing world, which has been yearning for bigger and bigger demands. These days, IT systems are handling enormous amounts of tasks and are designed to be scalable and reliable. It is impossible to make the process of developing such systems and the resulting code simple. By seeing how the world changes and how software evolves to make our lives easier, I have come to the conclusion that we are doomed to experience complexity. However, it is not a hopeless situation. There are ways to make the situation a bit better, and I will show you how Bosque tries to overcome this.

Back in Chapter 1, Exploring Bosque, you learned about accidental complexity and its main sources. Let's quickly recall what that is.

An accidental complexity, when it comes to building software, is a kind of trap we fall into when we're designing and implementing certain features. At the time the feature is implemented...
