Release notes >

“Compared to any web app architectures I have explored, Wakanda simplifies on of the most complex aspects - connecting to and managing data. With Wakanda, it just works.”
Greg McCarvell, CommissionFocus.com
“I first started out with exploring Node.js but with Wakanda you get, as a developer, much more productivity thanks to the superb IDE.”
Robby Pelssers, Ciber
“We were looking for an interactive development environment for a NoSQL database, and there is not one like Wakanda”
Shay Ben Dov
“A project that took a few hours to create in PHP was done in a few minutes with Wakanda”
Nicholas Wykes, StorMan
“Wakanda has a good team. They know how business applications work.”
Oscar Agreda, 10Geek Software
“Wakanda is quietly on the warpath, edging its way into the JavaScript world as an interesting alternative”
Bertrand Garé, L'Informaticien (French)
“They [Wakanda] have every single part of the stack figured out... It may well be the thing for you... A very interesting, very promising project.”
Peter Cooper, The JavaScript Show
“Developers will be able to concentrate on development using only a single language, as the mixed approach using different tools like PHP and Java is no longer necessary.”
iX Magazine (German)
“As we dig into this environment we are getting more and more excited about starting our first project. We can see many time-saving features that will deliver great value to our clients.”
Jody Bevan, CEO, Jonoke Software
“Looks like a great tool for those one off internal apps that a developer has to do in large companies and doesn’t want to spend much time on them.”
Tom Jensen, tomjensen.tumblr.com
“This is one of the most impressive and novel Web applications development and deployment systems I've come across in a long time!”
Mark Gibbs, Network World
“Being able to use Javascript throughout the entire stack is a very appealing concept.”
Morgan Hill Consultants Ltd.
