https://github.com/WallarooLabs/wallaroo is probably the largest example of an open source pony project.

I was also intrigued by Pony -- but lost interest when the company backing it shut down. I don't think it was due to monetization though, I think it formed a foundation, but do not quote me on that. I only know of one (there may be others) that constantly talk about how they're using Pony -- Wallaroo[1][2]. I think they're still actively working on it, based on their Github[3].

All exceptions have to be handled, but they don't have to be handled at the call site, you can have them propogate back up if you want. When you say assertion, do you mean, that you want to program to exit? If yes, that's fairly easy to do. We have several different variations of that in the Wallaroo code base. Speaking as a Pony core member, I'd be open to adding a primitive to exit the program with an error message to the standard library. We have an RFC process for that: https://github.com/ponylang/rfcs/ And there are several examples from Wallaroo of that here: https://github.com/WallarooLabs/wallaroo/tree/master/lib/wal...

Or to toot the horn of the project I work on: * https://github.com/wallaroolabs/wallaroo - Wallaroo

How do you ingest data with Wallaroo? I see a mention of "...say TCP" and in the github word count there is mention of a (data)source framed-message-protocol but nothing that describes it in the (https://github.com/WallarooLabs/wallaroo/blob/0.2.0/book/cor...) link. Dropping Python into the mix for a high throughput processing pipeline seems counterproductive. Why isn't there a tutorial in a more strict language like Go or C++, since someone pursuing this kind of high-throughput framework that can't benefit from wider parallelism, will 100% want that performance guarantee?

I like the absence of java-based tools. But IMO the Word count example is really verbose : https://github.com/WallarooLabs/wallaroo/blob/0.1.2/examples... With Apache Spark, the Word count example is a lot shorter: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/examples/src/mai...

OK, we'll switch it back from https://github.com/wallaroolabs/wallaroo.
