The Ballerina Programming Language

Ballerina is an open source programming language and platform for cloud-era application programmers to easily write software that just works.

Providing and consuming services

It has inherently concurrent first-class language constructs for providing and consuming services.

Sequence diagrams

Sequence diagram based graphical view shows the most fundamental aspect of the semantics of a network distributed application.

Structural typing

It allows for looser coupling between distributed components and eliminates the friction of data binding.

Metadata

Extensible metadata enables easy integration of Ballerina programs with cloud platforms.
