On the flip side, I can't help but wonder how likely they would have been to use Pony had none of their core team members been active in the Pony community.
- spooneybarger 9y agoHope you enjoy this one as well. We weren't active in the Pony community until we decided to use it for Wallaroo. We felt it was very important to invest in the improvement of Pony. And to do that, we needed to be part of the community. Pony became our runtime instead of writing one ourself. That doesn't mean we don't have to work on our runtime. It means we are sharing the burden with others.
- eljimmy 9y agoOh wow, well I'm all the more impressed then. It's admirable to try out new tech and venture into the unknown. Kudos!
- jtfmumm 9y agoInterestingly enough, none of us had even written anything significant in Pony when we made the initial tentative decision. After we came to the conclusion that it might be a good fit, we started a test project and a couple of us tried ramping up as fast as we could. It was actually only after we decided it was the right choice that we started to get actively involved in the community.
- eljimmy 9y agoVery cool, thanks for sharing!
