05:45 <jemc> I'd still like to work on a better package manager for Pony

05:45 <jemc> my main impediment is that there are still a few things about the language itself that I want to work on first

09:59 <obadz> is there a working (stateful) repl for pony?

12:15 <SeanTAllen> obadz: there is no repl for pony

13:17 <SeanTAllen> there's a lot of work that needs to happen for a repl to happen

20:30 <pecan> Is there a status or news or anything about distributed Pony?

20:43 <SeanTAllen> its been back burnered for now pecan. the only thing that has landed on master for that is serializing and deserializing pony objects (that comes with some serious caveats)

20:45 <SeanTAllen> we at Sendence are working on a data processing called Wallaroo that is written in Pony that is in some ways a bit of a test bed for some distributed Pony ideas and will probably serve to help guide ideas for distributed Pony. In particular related to performance.

20:47 <pecan> Huh. Interesting. Thanks.

20:52 <jemc> pecan: the architecture has been designed (there is a formal paper you can read about it), but no one is actively working on it as their main effort - there's a lot to get done in the language and in the ecosystem, and other efforts are currently taking higher priority

20:53 <SeanTAllen> once again, jemc put that better than me
