PonyLang 101: Write a chat system in Pony

Join us for another hands-on workshop led by Andy Turley from Wallaroo Labs. Learn Pony (https://www.ponylang.org), a fast actor-based programming language which guarantees that programs will not have data races.

This workshop will teach participants about some of Pony’s core ideas and patterns by having them write a series of small programs that culminate in a simple chat server. Topics covered will include Pony’s actor system, reference capabilities, and working with the compiler.
