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.

Learning how to contribute

Since the code is made public, you can browse it on your own and make changes on your local machine depending on your needs. There may come a time when a change that you made locally is good enough to be included in the main repo. In order to submit your changes, first you need to create a fork of the main Bosque repository. After that, you can make changes in the code and push them to the remote repository that you now own (it’s your fork). If you want to merge your changes into the main repo, you have to create a new PR from your fork. After that, your changes will get reviewed and if they’re good, the change will be accepted and merged into the main code base. The procedure is quite straightforward and I suppose you already know how to do it. If not, please refer to the official documentation about this at https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork...
