[$] Preventing data races with Pony

Description:
The Pony programming language is dedicated to
exploring how to make high-performance actor-based systems. Started in 2014,
the language's most notable feature is probably reference capabilities , a 
system of pointer annotations that gives the developer
fine manual control over how data is shared between actors, while 
simultaneously
ensuring that Pony programs don't have data races. The language is not likely 
to
overtake other more popular programming languages, but its ideas could be 
useful for
other languages or frameworks struggling with concurrent data access.
