New Package: Opa - "The cloud language"

I just heard about Opa, a freshly open-sourced programming language and framework for web applications. The language itself looks nice enough, and apparently it covers it all: webserver, server-side logic, database, client (browser) scripts, design - all smoothly integrated.

Knowing very little about web development, this intrigued me, so I created a PKBUILD:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51140
(Note: I am not sure if "java-environment" and "openssl" are really necessary dependencies, but namcap suggested them.)

EDIT (installation details)
There are issues with the AUR packages of two of opa's dependencies:
- In the ocaml-zip PKGBUILD, the first source link has to be changed to http://forge.ocamlcore.org/frs/download … .04.tar.gz . (fixed)
- The ocaml-ocamlgraph is out of date. There is a link to an updated one in the comments, however: http://pastebin.com/f1U26c95 (fixed)

EDIT (similar projects)
Browsing through the discussion at Lambda the Ultimate, I found two similar projects (some more actually - see there -, but these two seem most interesting to me): Hop and Ur/Web
