Oh great. It's still AGPL :-|

https://github.com/MLstate/opalang/blob/master/LICENSE

cedrics• 14 years ago

The license has changed, read http://blog.opalang.org/2012/05/opa-license-change-not-just-...

The source code is released on github with a delay of several days.

So, first they ditch their native syntax for a more JavaScript-approach, now the native backend is being replaced by node and mongo? With all these fundamental changes, is this the right time for a 1.0 release?

There is a few reasons. Pick your favorite:

1) All the features we wanted are in.

2) We need to catch up on Chrome 19.

3) Team was thirsty and needed a good excuse to have beer party.

Maybe it's time to rename the project once again with so much changes ....

hbbio3• 14 years ago

Opa never changed name.

Sad to see a project with so much promise jump on the latest trendy bandwagon. I think I'll stick to Ocsigen. http://ocsigen.org/

You can still use the native runtime if you want. Turns out, a majority of users prefer the standard JavaScript stack -- and now we give that choice.

What's wrong with compiling to JavaScript? Is it just bad because it's popular?

Of course, I'm biased: the only tool I've used from ocsigen is js_of_ocaml :P.

If the bandwagon is a programming language that runs everywhere, on the client and on the server, what's so bad about that?

The link from the blog back to the project's main website doesn't work properly. Is appears that the logo in http://opalang.org/header_blog.xmlt should be linked with target="_top" since the navbar is an iframe.

Thanks for the report !

Was the native runtime multicore capable ? If so, going to Node is a huge step down.
