Opa 1.0 Released

phy_si_kal writes "The open source Opa project just released its 1.0 version. Opa appeared last year and was discussed a few times. Throughout the year, Opa adopted a JavaScript-like syntax, gained support for MongoDB and now Node.js. Opa positions itself as the enterprise JavaScript framework due to the safety and security provided by its strong static typing system. Indeed, Opa checks the type safety of the application over the whole application, from client, to server, to database. Opa also provides many automation algorithms, such as the automated use of Node.js fibers at runtime, automated client/server and server/database dialog. The site of the project also announces a developer challenge."

    Opa watches TV and grumbles a lot. (Opa is German for Grandpa.)

    It now uses MongoDB and node.js. You know what that means.

    Opa does web scale.

    "web developer" is an oxymoron. you're a script kiddie, barely one step above writing DOS batch files.

    Not any more! Now with the new Dos on Dope framework you can be a web developer BY writing DOS batch files!
