13:40 <SeanTAllen> Hi all, I wrote a post about why we decided to write Wallaroo using Pony: https://blog.wallaroolabs.com/2017/10/why-we-used-pony-to-write-wallaroo/

19:40 <Shayanjm> Hey there :) Going to lurk here a bit. I work on distributed streaming systems and am generally interested in what you're doing @ Wallaroo

20:24 <slfritchie> Hi

21:18 <SeanTAllen> Shayanjm: welcome! Lurkers are welcome

21:18 <SeanTAllen> Shayanjm: what sort distributed streaming stuff do you work on?

23:07 <Shayanjm> SeanTAllen: In my day job, I work primarily on observability in streamed systems @ FB (i.e: distributed tracing, anomaly detection, etc.)

23:08 <Shayanjm> not-day-job: I work on a real time event filtration system called "Watchful"

23:09 <Shayanjm> https://watchful.io -- it's basically a big distributed regex engine meant to do really really fast filtration/tagging of events in real time

23:11 <SeanTAllen> Sounds very interesting Shayanjm. Hopefully you do more than lurk and we end up chatting. I love meeting new folks and hearing about what they do and learning from their experiences.

23:11 <Shayanjm> For sure :) Happy to chime in where appropriate
