Talk: Using Pony for Fintech

Track: Modern Native Languages

Location: Westminster, 4th flr.

Duration: 10:35am - 11:25am

Pony is a new actor-model language that's statically typed and ahead-of-time compiled (using LLVM), with a fully concurrent garbage collector and a data-race free type system. But this talk isn't about language features - it's about using Pony in a fintech environment to build high-performance tools.

What are some good design patterns?

What's the worst thing you can do to the Pony garbage collector?

What's the real cost of a message send?

We'll cover the runtime in depth.
