I recently posted a Cobra October Update over on the Cobra language discussion forums. It talks in detail about the new install-from-workspace script and the various items of progress made since the September update. Those include language enhancements, command line enhancements and bug fixes.

The Cobra Programming Language is open source under the MIT license. It runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and other systems through .NET and Mono.

I cannot agree more on this issue. People always throw this line when they are justifying XML: "...and there are hundreds of XML tools you could use..."

So I ask them: What tool are you using to read and write XML?

The answer always comes back: "my favorite text editor"
