howdy

I'm looking at using Pony or erlang/OTP for a good-sized project where things which talk to one another need to run well on customer deployments
<aturley>
hello bodie___
<bodie___>
is Pony in a sufficiently healthy, active, well-documented, and library-supported state that it's reasonable to even consider?
<bodie___>
Not trying to be confrontational, it's just a little hard to tell from here
<aturley>
pony is being worked on constantly and is being used by at least one company (wallaroo labs), so i'd say it is healthy and active.
<bodie___>
I mean, there's clearly a lot going for it :) i've been following you guys on and off since maybe early 2015
<aturley>
cool.
<aturley>
i don't know if that info i gave helps or not. are there any specific worries that you have?
<bodie___>
haven't taken the time yet to explore the current state of things, just looking for a high-level sense of production suitability
<bodie___>
how's db / networking / tooling support?
<bodie___>
obviously OTP offers a lot of platform, which I'm not necessarily in love with
<aturley>
general networking is good. we're adding more tooling, but so far there's dtrace support, lldb support, and support for several editors and ides.
<bodie___>
the pony runtime seems solid, I'm more worried about making it work with other systems and other developers
<aturley>
some folks have written db drivers/clients.
