Not notable. No significant coverage in any reliable independent sources. (None cited in the article, and none found on searching.) This appears to be a new project to create a programming language, coordinated via a wiki. The Wikipedia article appears to have been written by one of the developers, probably as an attempt to get a bigger public profile for the language.

  • (Keep). I'm one of the editors of the article and one of the authors of the Opa itself, so I think I can say something about the project. It's not a new project in the sense that it was in the works for many years. It is a new project in the sense that it was released as open-source just this June (2011). So that's why there are no (yet) many reliable independent sources talking about it. But the project is an OWASP project and MLstate, the creators of Opa, are part of the W3C consortium and now that the project is publicly available it's only a matter of time for it to gain more coverage. The topic was also subject to peer reviewed publications in international conferences/journals. I added one such publications in the external sources of the article.
