The implementation is based on .NET and runs on both the .NET and the Mono platform.

Cobra's syntax is heavily based on Python . The language offers dynamic and optional static typing. Cobra also offers syntax elements for lambda expressions , design by contract and module tests . These were of Eiffel and D inspired.

The classic hello world program looks like this: 

class Hallo
    def main
        print 'Hallo Welt!'

Classes are introduced in Cobra with the keyword class. The following example program defines a new class Personwith a name and an age that can be automatically converted into a string using a method:

class Person

    var _name as String
    var _alter as int

    cue init(name as String, alter as int)
        _name, _alter = name, alter

    def toString as String is override
        return 'Mein Name ist [_name] und ich bin [_alter] Jahre alt.'
