Ballerina is an open source programming language and platform for cloud-era application programmers to easily write software that just works.
It has inherently concurrent first-class language constructs for providing and consuming services.
Sequence diagram based graphical view shows the most fundamental aspect of the semantics of a network distributed application.
It allows for looser coupling between distributed components and eliminates the friction of data binding.
Extensible metadata enables easy integration of Ballerina programs with cloud platforms.
