Pony is what prompted TFA to consider whether or not 1/0 should be defined. It's not what the article is about. Obviously anybody who writes a compiler can define / to have a specified behavior for a zero divisor; TFA is about whether that's correct. There's nothing significant about IEEE 754 choosing to define an operation that's nominally undefined, as it does not have any bearing on whether or not that behavior is correct.
