> Did you guys build your own engine? I took a quick look at the repo but don't see anything that looks like a datalog library in your glide package list. Yes, the language impleme…

(OPA co-founder here.) The semantics of OPA's policy language are based on Datalog, a non-Turing complete subset of Prolog. This means that all policy queries in OPA are guaranteed…

There are tutorials that show how to integrate OPA with different projects on the website. One of them is a simple Python-based HTTP service: https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/h…

There are no Greeks among the core contributors :-(

OPA draws some inspiration from XACML. For example, OPA helps systems separate policy decision-making from policy enforcement. Decoupling means that policy decisions can be more ea…

sure, theoretically speaking you can't figure out everything until runtime, however even with 'scripting language' code you can still get quite far with basic static analysis.

Checking the malloc return value doesn't always guarantee that you'll be OK. From the malloc man page (under BUGS): "By default, Linux follows an optimistic memory allocation strat…
