Boo vs C# vs Python?

Compared to C#, Boo feels a bit more Pythonic but it's also compiled down to .NET MSIL. I liked its syntax, even more than C#'s syntax. But I couldn't find a single book teaching Boo.

And I really don't know, if learning Boo is better than C# or learning C# is better than Boo. I just want to use some Python-like data types. Those are:

  • {key1:value1, key2:value2} → dictionary
  • [Value1,Value2,Value3] → List (can be edited/changed)
  • (Value1,Value2,Value3) → Tuple (can't be edited/changed)

I use dictionaries more than list and tuples. I want to know, which one is better?

I'm not sure what your end goal is, but before you give up on python please do check out the python/Qt combo for building a gui. You can build complex cross-platform guis and it's fairly easy to pick up. Qt, Python Bindings
