I appreciate the work you are doing on Loom. As someone who has done production Erlang code in the past and presently has to code in Java, I eagerly await the day that Loom becomes production ready.
What are your thoughts on Pony (https://www.ponylang.io/ https://www.ponylang.io/)?
- pron 7y agoI just saw a couple of talks about it. Seems very interesting (more interesting to me than Rust), but I think it's too opinionated to gain much attention in this climate.

Rust is pretty opinionated but it seems to be doing well. My feeling is that Pony's probably not going to "win" (i.e. be the main replacement for C/C++) but I'm hoping that, like Erlang, it's able to carve out a stable enough niche.
