*Hi All, I have initiated this thread to introduce Ballerina [1] Language Runtime for OpenWhisk. Ballerina is a simple programming language whose syntax and platform address the hard problems of integration. Ballerina is a general purpose, concurrent, transactional, statically and strongly typed programming language with both textual and graphical syntaxes. Its specialization is integration - it brings fundamental concepts, ideas and tools of distributed system integration into the language and offers a type safe, concurrent environment to implement such applications. These include distributed transactions, reliable messaging, stream processing, workflows and container management platforms.The implementation of the OpenWhisk language runtime for Ballerina (0.975.0) can be found in repository [2] and relevant docker image can be found in [3]. I would like to donate this to Apache Incubator OpenWhisk project as a new Runtime. Please share your thoughts on necessary actions to be taken to contribute this code to OpenWhisk project.
