Extensibility

I'm interested in learning about Boo's more powerful features such as syntactic macros, parser support (Ometa?), compiler pipeline, etc. My impression is that these areas have been in flux and somewhat under-documented. Are there any good resources for learning about these things other than studying the source code?

I am new to Boo, and trying to figure out how to declare the type of a hash. When I do: myHash = {} myHash[key] = value (later) myHash[key].method() the compiler complains that "method is not a member of object". I gather that it doesn't know what type the value in the hash is. Is… >>> More
