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. Ballerina is the ONLY programming language designed for integration. Network primitives in the language make it simpler to write services and run them in the cloud. Structural types with support for openness are used both for static typing within a program and for describing service interfaces. Type-safe, declarative processing of JSON, XML, and tabular data with language-integrated queries. Programs have both a textual syntax and an equivalent graphical form based on sequence diagrams.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. 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…
