I thought the domain name next to it was giving a hint. Better headline might have been: "Dual licensing business model does not work anymore" but that's long.

What I meant is: while they develop. The AGPL does not require you to publish your code before you either distribute it or run it online.

We won't drop OCaml! We love it ;) We are adding new backends to Opa - for glorious benefit of other people.

It's much more readable than complex combinations of " and '. Furthermore, with the static typing, all your structures are checked at compile time: Try it, you'll see how helpful it is.

Thanks for your comment. You raise insightful questions and we are aware that our current licensing must change. Expect to read about this soon!

Currently, we did not work a lot on reducing the size of the generated JavaScript code nor the memory usage. There are definitely huge potential gains in that space, and we planned to focus on this once we have the Node.js backend: Benefits

Should I guess (from the domain name) that the link is running on Lisp? I can't get past that!

So what's your favorite approach for web app development?

I'm from the Opa team and we did not post this here. The press release is intended for business users, who want to know that kind of information. For developers, opalang.org is enough, isn't it?

The current Dart buzz shows merely two things: (1) There is a need for better languages to program web apps. (2) Google marketing power is impressing. But, technically what Dart introduces is nowhere new. Have a look for instance at Opa ( h

You should really check Opa, which has been discussed several times here. The syntax does not please everyone (and can evolve) but at least it is built on original concepts. See http://opalang.org . An alternative is Ur/Web if you're that

Of course, we know each other. Ur/Web for instance allows metaprogramming when Opa doesn't. But Opa handles distribution natively when Ur/Web doesn't. Some users say that both projects are of great quality, so I invite you to try both and m

Partial answers/tidbits: The JS code is not as optimized as what you can write manually, although a lot of work was put in making it work "fast enough" (thanks Mathieu). However, we have many ideas on how to reach native performance. Look f

Fully agreed that current web programming is complex and that was the driving force behind making Opa. What might not be clear in the presentation of Opa is that it's not some new glue on top of existing components. It's instead a whole new
