Re: What are micro-services?

I don't think that it has anything to do with the JVM (and neither with the JRE) besides the concept of having a VM.

From the website:

"The Ballerina compiler is written in Java with a generated LL parser using ANTLR4. It generates binary files containing a Ballerina bytecode format that is platform neutral and different than Java’s bytecode."

As it is different from Java it cannot run on the JVM (without again compiling it to Java bytecode which is not mentioned).

Best regards

Installs easy enough. We'll see how it works...

Neils, Jack (Jack...thanks for the public comment about "busy people don't always have time to chit-chat)

Neils - If you get a chance, take a look at Ballerina (https://ballerina.io/ ) This is a sweet, simple to use language that is already Docker, Kubernetes aware.? I have only played with it a bit but it is drop dead simple to use and seems to reflect what you are trying to do.

Haven't looked into an IBM i deployment yet.? There are dependencies that haven't been met.? But, it is a fun language to use and very productive (and, Open Source!!)
