Comment on Show HN: Ballerina – Cloud Native Programming Language

Comments

As a language nerd, I had to take a look. But I really can't figure out what this is about.

"Ballerina makes it easy to create resilient services that integrate and orchestrate transactions across distributed endpoints."

Is it real or a joke? It sounds like a markov chain generator was fed with tech mumbo jumbo and then generated this?

If it's real - what is the no nonsense description?

And who is behind it?

I'm the lead designer of Ballerina.

Its a real language :-). Please check the spec out here: https://ballerina.io/res/Ballerina-Language-Specification-WD....

Feedback welcome!

Thanks!

No, you're just trying to be a jerk. It's difficult to explain what a service does in a single sentence, but this one makes perfect sense, albeit generical.

Oh and I didn't answer the question of who's behind it - this is being lead by WSO2, of which I'm the chief architect.
