Was this meant to be a reply to the top-level story, and not a specific comment?

It seems really bizarre to respond to “there should be easily-accessible examples of code that demonstrate the language’s key features on the website” with “there’s a $200 conference in South Carolina where there will be a talk on it.” Honestly, it comes across as not just bizarre, but somewhat disrespectful (though I’m sure that was not your intention).

I just clicked the first reply button in a hurry when I saw the Pony thread. It's hard to turn off the conference promoter mode. :-)

My apologies.

Moved to toplevel now :)

Thanks!
