This is not a great intro to Pony. The most interesting thing about Pony is how data permissions work and how that allows for safe shared memory (a place where Erlang can fall down for certain applications as data is always copied between actors with the exception of large binaries)
Unfortunately for me the language felt a bit big and like it was doing too much (I guess you could say Elixir is in that same boat and I eventually got over that). It has the same "kitchen sink" problem as C++ and Scala. The use case for safe shared memory is interesting though and I'm keeping an ear to the project in passing
