Pony (ponylang.io) is a fast actor-based programming language that guarantees data safety. These data safety guarantees are built on reference capabilities, which control the way aliases are used in a way that prevents more than one actor from having access to mutable data.

This talk will present an overview of the language and runtime with a focus on how it compares to other actor-based systems (like Elixir), followed by a look at some small programs that illustrate how Pony's data safety guarantees work.

Andrew Turley is an engineer at Wallaroo Labs where he has been using Pony since 2016.
