When I took Pony for a test drive, the language itself felt pretty solid; the main obstacle was the tiny standard library.
When Pony's standard library grows to a useful size, it's going to be huge. The type system is gorgeous, the documentation is pretty good, and the community is extremely friendly and helpful.
- mcguire 9y agoIt sounds like the type system is going to get more featureiferous; my understanding is that they are pushing towards actual dependent typing.

- adamnemecek 9y agoI know. I'm rooting for Kotlin for the same reason but Pony does look super promising.
- krylon 9y agoIIRC, there is an implementation of Go that compiles to Javascript. https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs I have been meaning to give it a try, but so far I have not found a good excuse to.
