Pony is quite the opposite of academic in the sense that the creator of Pony, Sylvan Clebsch worked in industry for 24 years. Industry people are picking up Pony for just that. His PhD seems recent back-to-school stuff - amazing. From the QCon London site: "Sylvan Clebsch is the designer of the Pony programming language. He has worked in industry for 24 years, on fintech, milsims, video games, peer networking, VOIP, identity management, crypto, and embedded OSes. He is currently working on distributed Pony and writing up his PhD at Imperial College London." [1] Personally, it looks good, but I am not an OOP person. I prefer Erlang's, or LFE's (Lisp Flavored Erlang) syntax. [1] https://qconlondon.com/speakers/sylvan-clebsch |
