They're trying to convince people opa isn't a load of trash. Write some code, tag it with "built for the cloud", say "it's the future / next gen / teh shit / extremely awesome / nice / etc" and hope people believe that crap.

After all, they should bet their startup / business on something which is very new, seems to lack large real world use and testing. Yeah, that's right, weird looking code mixed with HTML is just the thing I was looking for. Trust an untested new database system with my data? Sure, I'll do that....reaaallyyyy soon...NOT.

They've failed to convince me.

I'm from the Opa team and we did not post this here. The press release is intended for business users, who want to know that kind of information. For developers, opalang.org is enough, isn't it?
