Pony (also referred to as ponylang) is a free and open source, object-oriented, actor model, capabilities-secure, high performance programming language.[6][7] Pony's reference capabilities allow even mutable data to be safely passed by reference between actors. Garbage collection is performed concurrently, per-actor, which eliminates the need to pause program execution or "stop the world".[8][9][10] Sylvan Clebsch is the original creator of the language.[11][12] It is now being maintained and developed by members of the Pony team.[13]
