This is incredibly cool. I read through the whole tutorial, and I love what I see, but I recommend putting some code samples on the front page.
Syntax may be less important than a language's features, but it isn't until the 4th page of the tutorial that I even have an inkling of what code in Pony looks like.
I'm excited to give this a try!
- partisan 11y agoAgreed. Seems interesting and the website is generally well designed, but it wouldn't hurt to have a code sample or two on the front page.
- barrelrider 11y agoYes you're right, we will put some code samples in earlier on. Thanks for the feedback.
- bittytang 11y agoWhat is your planned version 1.0 release date? What milestones are you facing in the release process? What will future support for the language look like?
- olivier1664 11y agoAgreed too. Here my user experience with the presentation. Once I've understand it was a new language (cool name btw), I've look for the Hello-world example to see if the language was easy enough for me. I've found the link after reading the HN comment: http://tutorial.ponylang.org/getting-started/helloworld/ http://tutorial.ponylang.org/getting-started/helloworld/ Then, I've quickly read the part on concurrent programming. But I've not understood how it is easier with Pony. It's very frustrating. So far, my understanding is there is class (called actor) that can discuss together by sending each other immutable object. I would like to see some code in the tutorial that show how concurrency is easily done in Pony.
