Are there any critical corrections to the 1-12 chapters?

I've read 1-8 chapters and I wonder if there is some critical text to read in new edition's 1-8.

Is there a particular reason why you've chosen Boo over C#?

No, just a lot of proof editing

@David

I won't speak for Oren, but I suppose the fact that it can NOT be done in C# had some influence on his decision.

So building building domain specific languages is only possible with languages that have dynamic/functional "flavor" to them?
