Indeed, the type system when explained in detail is not that simple. Nevertheless, we believe that it can be used without detailed knowledge. In our experience, programmers can pick up the system fast (e.g. after a 2…
Indeed, Pony can automatically detect actors with empty stacks and message queues, also when these are part of a cycle.
Do you mean whether Pony requires/allows braces to delimit functions, or class definitions? If so, the answer is no, as they are superfluous.
Actor based; type safe; data-race free; copy-less message passing; easy to write fast programs; non-null types; algebraic data types; ... Is there a specific language you would like to compare with?
