We'll also launch the Opa Developer Challenge during this event.

What is Opa?

Opa is a new open source programming language for web application development. It is a tierless language that produces both client and server. Opa is a very efficient language and, for instance, a simple real-time web chat takes less than 20 lines. Thanks to its strong static type, it is safe and secured (against SQL injections or XSS attacks for instance) and built to be scalable.
