> Ballerina is an open source programming language and platform for cloud-era application programmers to easily write software that just works. Meaningless tagline. > Static typing is the network application programmer’s development headache and dynamic typing is the reliability engineer’s nightmare. Ballerina’s statically-typed, structural type system that is designed to be network data schema friendly allows application programmers to write code that adheres to the Robustness Principle: Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept. Nowadays we recognize that this is not necessarily a good idea. Se the very long ietf@ietf.org thread titled "deprecating Postel's principle - considered harmful".
