> Rama can build end-to-end backends at any scale on its own in a tiny fraction of the code. At its core is a new programming language implementing a new programming paradigm..

Grand claims, but where are the super powerful demo apps? The getting started docs are a trickle of info..

https://redplanetlabs.com/docs/~/operating-rama.html#_access...

The "demo gallery" has a few cherry picked examples, but I don't see how this fulfills the claim of a "new paradigm". I wanted to be blown.. but this ain't it.

Oof.

Not even a code sample in the article. You'd think if they were so convinced it was a new paradigm we'd see why. Makes me skeptical.

It's an article about Clojure's influence on Rama, not an introductory tutorial on Rama. But we have plenty of code samples elsewhere:
