I like Elixir, Erlang. There is Lumen, an OS initiative to bring the BEAM to the browser (WASM).
Does Pony have such ambitions (I mean, the Pony team)?
My UC is an actor system in the browser and the ability to create a DSL created using the same language used in programming the actor system.
Pony is not dynamic but statically typed? Maybe it can be overcome by substituting actors since any actor can create any other actor?
Plus I'm interested in graphics. I googled but didn't see any examples of integrating either web or desktop graphics, like Skia.
- ibraheemdev 6y agoThere is also the Lunatic VM [0] which is an actor system built with Rust targeting WASM on the server. 0: https://github.com/bkolobara/lunatic https://github.com/bkolobara/lunatic
- sp33der89 6y agoSince Pony uses LLVM, it should be possible to compile to WASM. Not sure if it's on the immediate roadmap of the Pony team. But I don't think the effort is as big as Lumen. As far as graphics go, I'd say Pony is quite early stage for such elaborate API's like Skia.
