A Vision for the Microservice Revolution

Is there only one way to develop Microservices? Or is there another that can take us even further?

We at the Jolie team believe that there is a second way. We have started piecing together a presentation of what makes us think so. See it here: http://jolie-lang.org/vision.html

Jolie 1.6.0 released

Jolie 1.6.0 has been released!

Important: This is the first stable release of Jolie that requires Java 8. A Java 6 compatible branch is still available on GitHub, to support contributors with the possibility of backporting important bug fixes. A link to the latest stable version of Jolie supporting Java 6 is provided in the download page of the Jolie website.
