Pony is a high-performance, actor based language that compiles to native code. Pony holds great promise for writing *the kinds of* highly concurrent, performance sensitive applications that dominate Fintech. In this talk, I'll discuss my experiences using Pony to build Wallaroo: a high-performance, low-latency stream processing engine. By the end of the talk you'll have learned a little about Pony, what it's like to build a large application with it, and the kinds of problems Pony is great...

For example, requests to solve to the Java's "Market Open" and "Rare Trading Algo" issues rank among the most requested customer-driven features we've seen. Similarly, the constant drive for speed and leverage of the...
