00:06 <SeanTAllen> carado: we have no plans on removing gc

00:08 <SeanTAllen> imagine if you will that you want to send an immutable copy of a list to 200 different actors, how do you free that? how do you know when to free it? you are going to end up recreating a not very good very of the Pony gc to handle situations like that

00:09 <SeanTAllen> there's nothing to stop you from allocating memory yourself via the C ffi and using it and freeing it yourself.

20:17 <carado> hi

20:19 <carado> I’m wondering, I’ve got this code in C++ ( http://paste.awesom.eu/sCPa&ln ) which has a virtually-no-overhead generic message-passing bus (global as the generic variable is declared `static` but that’s the only way it’ll compile). is such a thing possible in ponylang, a class or actor with a generic member duplicated for all types with which it is used ?

20:20 <carado> my aim is to have a generic message passer I don’t have to change the code of every time I add a message type, without having to check the type of incoming messages at runtime

23:50 <SeanTAllen> Pony has generics

23:50 <SeanTAllen> I'm not sure what you mean by "generic member duplicated for all types with which it is used"
