Small world :) I love when these things happen!
I still remember the sunny day I was at a Starbucks table with a huge americano and my first second-hand MacBook, stumbling upon Opa and thinking "what a great idea!".
It looked so simple, intuitive, and the fact that I could write both front and back end in the same file was amazing!
I never got to do a large project with it, so I didn't notice the pitfalls you are talking about. But I want to thank you and your team for making me understand that web dev does not have to be painful if you choose tools that you like.
- Yoric 3y agoThanks :) While I think that we made some mistakes in the design, I'm surprised that, to this day, there isn't any widely-used language/toolkit/framework [1] that seems to do as well. [1] Alright, there's GWT, which does pretty well with different tradeoffs. But for some reason, it seems to be extremely niche. The website mentions that "thousands of developers" use it.
