Cobra language now Open Source

Cobra author Charles Esterbrook has announced that the language is now available under Open Source licensing.

He also went ahead and added a Subversion-based repository.

Esterbrook said on this new development: “The advantage here is that it enables users to conveniently update their copy of the code at any time with a single command. It’s also the basis for someone to contribute an improvement back to the project.”

He further said: “My plan for March is to cut one to two releases that will once again be driven by user feedback. Support for Cobra will be ongoing through the new discussion boards. I’m also looking forward to getting open source contributions, but of course, it will take some time for people to get familiar with the existing code base.”

Cobra is essentially based on .Net and has been designed to mix productivity boosters scattered across multiple languages.
