Hah! Good one. To anyone else not in on the joke, parent is referring to the language that is often discussed on HN and known for having a sometimes overly enthusiastic community, Pony: https://www.ponylang.io/ https://www.ponylang.io/
- eatbitseveryday 8y agoHah! You must be in on another joke, because OP was referring to Rust ;) > Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. www.rust-lang.org edit: /s

The discussion of pitfalls surrounding Ada's task facility is eerily familiar to what you're reading in this thread 31 years later.
