OPA: Unified language for web development based on Ocaml.
- jganetsk 17y agoLooks very much like Philip Wadler's Links: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/topics/links.html http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/topics/links.html Also, looks like it's done by people active on the OCaml mailing list. They are smart guys. Worth checking out.
- DanielBMarkham 17y agoThe video wasn't so great -- a lot of generalities and hand-waving, but it's necessary to have that kind of video to give folks a high level overview. Loved some of the sample apps, though. "Here's a web page" -> 1 line of code. "Here's a web page that interacts with the user" -> 2 lines of code. "Here's a complete Wiki" -> 13 lines of code. You gotta love ML. Now for the criticism. I think I would have moved my meta language out into some kind of hybrid html/xml languages instead of trying to sock too much into the language layer. I'm more comfortable with templates or DSLs executing against a server stack layer than an integrated language that tries to describe it all. Hope that makes some sense. Lots of dense material I glossed over.
