Learn Bosque Programming

By: Sebastian Kaczmarek, Joel Ibaceta

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.

Chapter 7: Project: Bosque in the Cloud

Up to this point, we have learned a series of useful concepts that will allow us to build our first applications to solve real world problems.

The emergence of serverless technology has led us to think about building atomic solutions of limited responsibility, which have converted previously complex applications into a set of small specialized services, reducing resource consumption and simplifying maintenance and scalability.

Bosque emerges as an ideal candidate for the construction of small services due to its deterministic nature. We can ensure that our applications will always fulfill their purpose efficiently and be sufficiently legible to facilitate their maintenance.

In this chapter we will build an atomic web service that allows us to estimate the indoor position based on the physical principle that the signal intensity and the distance between transmitter and receiver are usually directly proportional.

To do this we are going...
