INSPIRINGAPPLICATIONS  You are correct about the documentation. We just announced the product this week. We expect it to be in beta through April, during which time we will be adding some features, addressing reported issues, and completing the documentation.

We have quite a bit of PHP development experience. We prefer Yuma's strong typing and built-in, on-the-fly compilation of served pages. Many bugs are caught at compile time that might otherwise linger in PHP code until that portion of the code is executed. In our tests, we also find Yuma to be considerably faster than PHP, particularly for computationally intensive pages.

The Yuma language certainly has some roots in BASIC, but it is a thoroughly modern object-oriented language. We find that many developers prefer Yuma's clean syntax over PHP's C-like implementation.

We did not post Yuma to MacUpdate, but we're flattered that someone thought enough of it to do so. Please give us a chance to get through our beta process before passing judgement. In the meantime, we certainly welcome your feedback.
