Opa 1.0 Released

Posted by timothy on Thursday June 21, 2012 @04:17AM from the just-like-the-kraken dept.

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."

It allows you to write the same bloated code but in a different langauge.

Typical Slashdot summary. A bunch of links that tell you a little bit, no clear "main link" and no one clear link that does a clear job explaining what "Opa" is.
Why can't the articles start with a link to one major articles and (maybe) more links in the summary.

  The problem is they are announcing something without telling what the heck it is. Nobody seems to know squat about it, this is very bad communication.
