When we started Digma, we made a decision to create a product from the trenches. A product with the domain language of code, that evolves from opinionated code analysis that can only come from a community developers. Digma is free for developers because we rely on the community for its feedback and expertise that makes its way into the product. We picked Java as Digma’s first and primary supported coding language because of the strength and maturity of the Java community, its champions community and tooling.
