Pony Considerations

If you're thinking of checking out the Pony programming language, here's a list of things that I think are important to know. This list is based on a Tweet that I wrote.

Editor/IDE support

There are Pony packages for several popular editors.

• Emacs
• Sublime

Gankra

Background

methods like push on Vec don't provide anyway for the caller to handle OOM. (I will be using push as substitute for "all allocating APIs" for simplicity here)

• Today we always abort.
• Moving to unwinding is problematic
• unsafe code may be exception unsafe on the basis of current strategy

public class Constants {

    /**
     * Contains the path to your Lambda function code.
     */
    public static final String LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT = System.getenv("LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT");

    /**
     * The environment variable is set to one of the following options, depending on the runtime of the Lambda function:
     * AWS_Lambda_nodejs, AWS_Lambda_nodejs4.3, AWS_Lambda_nodejs6.10

-- | This module contains some approach for emulating array syntax from
-- imperative languages. The approach emulates only syntax, not efficiency.
-- Though if you like working with persistent arrays it may be good for you.
-- Also it's a fun exercise on lenses.

Hyperlinks (a.k.a. HTML-like anchors) in terminal emulators

Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).

It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.
