#2This looks great, the visual representation may be a killer feature, but the website could use a little more color.
Also, it seems to be written in Java (run in the JVM?), so I will not touch it, but I hope others will.

#3This actually does look great.
There's real value here. In a world being overrun with services what's desperately needed is an orchestration language. Such a language is severely focused on consuming services/messages, converting data, and then uploading data/messages. This is the next Unix shell; a tool whose only purpose would be to stitch together services, pipe data, schedule execution, and display results. An integration dsl.
But it's not clear ballerina that can really do that. Would love to see a more real world example that demonstrates it really solves the integration/scripting problem.

Yes, It runs on the JVM. I did a simple implementation with it and I am impressed. JVM is not a concern to me.

#9There's looking to be a lot of value in visual languages - this isn't the first one to hit the FP in the last few weeks. We're probably beginning to appreciate the limits of text-based programming, and hopefully enough work goes into something different to create a tool with real productivity using visual code. The only trouble I can see is that there isn't a lot of speed at the moment in dragging and dropping to create graphs.

Why would that matter?
