Re:Opa – The Scalable Open Source Cloud Language by kermitthehermit on Monday July 25, 2011 @01:23PM (#2803570)
I don't think I can properly say how cheap this looks to me.

HTML mixed with code in the same file? A new language? A new database? What makes an app written in opa better than a PHP codebase where HTML is mixed with PHP all over?

This opa project doesn't look like such a big deal to me. It just limits freedom too much from what I can see. Build something like this which merges the HTML with some weird looking code and you've wasted quite some time for nothing.

Wt has been around for a while with an approach not far from this one and I never stopped thinking it's one major piece of junk.

There also doesn't seem to be any functional website / web app built with it. They all seem heavily javascript-ified chunks of HTML which work together to create something which looks like pages from 2003-2004.

To the guy who posted this link for SEO purposes: I'll make sure to block that site from my browsers, it's 100% trash.
