Pony looks great, but based on reading the docs it seems it is a bit too early to do much with it. Looks like they don't really have any tooling (package manage

  It is early days for Pony for sure, but it does have a package manager: https://github.com/ponylang/pony-stable https://github.com/ponylang/pony-stable The breaking changes have been minimal since I've started using it. Typically just slight changes to some type signatures. The core parts (Actors, Reference Capabilities, Classes/Traits/Interfaces) are all stable at this point. I'm amazed by how well ponyc (the compiler) works. You just run it and it figures everything out. If I could change anything in the language right now, I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of the reference capabilities renamed (trn, box, and maybe tag specifically), though I don't have any better names to offer. I'd also like if Actor Behaviour dispatch had a different syntax than Object method invoke.
