Was pony really a Cadillac? Cadillacs are supposed to be comfortable and large (and not fast). Part of the design (if you believe Robert virding) of erlang's process system is that it makes error handling (an important part of being a developer) very comfortable because it just does the sane thing with little or no effort. Pony, by contrast, obsessively required you to handle errors and shoehorned you into a theory-inspired actor system , missing the point that erlang processes are practical units of composable failure domains, not theoretical actor concurrency units
