It isn't it a shame that the industry always falls for the liars?

The pony model was also better for compute tasks, not just IO. Because it provided safe concurrency, 10x faster than go.

No, the pony model isn't better for compute tasks…

Think for instance about how you'd do efficient matrix multiplication of two matrices with a million row and column, in Pony, versus how it works in languages with shared memory. You'd spend a gigantic amount of time copying data for no good reason…

Of course pony can do shared memory. How about clevering up?

Ditching the pony model to defend it is a very strange version of the mote and bailey fallacy.
