> 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..

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.

The Clojure community is extremely cult like. I worked with a dev who tried to push Datomic, and despite the huge flaws with his system, and the fact that it was closed source, he would continuously tout how much better it was than a relational database. I don’t believe the hype.

I know our engineering discipline is in shambles, but there are probably better ways to argue against hype without ourselves using hyperbole.

Closed source is enough reason in my book.
