Ballerina is a compiled, type safe, Turing-complete, concurrent programming language created by WSO2. The language implementation is open-source, licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

More specifically, It 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.

History

Ballerina was introduced on March 17, 2017.[3]
