Maybe they should have used a horse, they are much more reliable than camels and more mature than ponies.

Horses aren't actually more mature than Ponies.

Ponies mature more quickly than horses, they are merely smaller.

I'm not sure, AoE2 taught me that camels always win against horses. And if you consider Rust to be OCaml's child (which is kind of true if you really stretch things), it seems like young camels win against young horses too.

It is but it's just one of them, hence why I think it's a bit of a stretch.

I don't think it's a big stretch - I always consider Rust to be in the ML family of languages
