Thanks, that's interesting. Linear types are useful, undoubtably because they can reduce copying. What kind of scheduling does Pony use?

As per http://tutorial.ponylang.org/gotchas/scheduling.html it's a cooperative scheduler, which is disappointing.

That means BEAM - Pony is not a fair comparison, because cooperative schedulers solve a much simpler algorithmic problem.
