What it does
Ballerina is an open-source programming language for the cloud that makes it easier to use, combine and create network services.
Integration problems have been solved by restricted drag-and-drop tools/DSLs or generic programming languages that don't understand the unique challenges of integrations.

But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
