I have only played with Pony briefly, because library ecosystem is not there, yet, for me. But the type system, and especially the reference capability system was beautiful, once I had gotten over the first local maximum of the learning curve.
I have been spoiled by too many languages with rich standard libraries and third-party library ecosystems, but if Pony gets enough traction to catch up, it is a language I would absolutely love to use. Just think about it - you can have massive concurrency going on, with mutable state, and yet, if it compiles, all is well. It is too good to be true, yet it is here.
- spooneybarger 9y agoI'm a member of the Pony core team. Library and ecosystem definitely needs.. well, more. Lots more. That isn't going to happen without folks like you who like the language becoming part of the ecosystem and contributing. I encourage you to join in, we are happy to get more help!
