Is there any web/network framework for Pony?
- spooneybarger 9y ago
  web framework? no. hopefully someone steps forward to do that. a couple folks have mentioned that they are building one or want to but so far nothing has materialized. personally i'm hoping that someone does a version of webmachine for Pony. there's a http server that is part of the standard library but it wasn't written to be high-performance. it has good latency characteristics but poor throughput characteristics. i've written a number of http servers during my career, don't really have the stomach to do another. hopefully in the not so distant future, someone writes one in Pony with an eye towards performance.

By the way, I run the https://reddit.com/r/ponylang https://reddit.com/r/ponylang subreddit. I mentioned it a long time ago on the mailing list trying to get someone from the Pony team to join as a moderator, but don't think it ever fully panned out. If anyone on the team is interested, feel free to PM me on Reddit.

What about (multiparty) session types? Can they be implemented for the actors to force them to follow a protocol?
