We are a young language with plenty of rough edges. When you give it a go, if you need help, feel free to reach out to me personally as well as through the help channel listed on the website: https://www.ponylang.org/learn/#getting-help
Reference capabilities are definitely one significant difference between Pony and mainstream programming languages. It can be hard to grasp initially, kind of like borrowing in Rust.
Erlang and rust are among my favorite languages, so this seems like something I should play with a bit :)
Pony is a pretty interesting language, i really enjoyed reading the paper. Definitely on the “to learn next” list.
If you run into trouble, you can ping us on IRC, mailing list or twitter. I think you’ll find it a very welcoming community.
Thanks!
I have been bugging you on irc for a couple of weeks now :)
I’m good with faces. Not so good with nicks and names.
An honest discussion of when Pony is a good idea and when it is not, very nice.
We aim to be honest about such things. It’s also right on the website:

Nice talk! Pony is definitely one of the languages I am keeping my eye on.
