Yes you're right, we will put some code samples in earlier on. Thanks for the feedback.

It's like jlouis said, with Erlang you have to kill your processes off when you've finished with them and if you don't they leak. In Pony that's done for you automatically.

One class having a method called "is_null" doesn't mean that the language has null built into it or any inherant concept of what that means. Just like having a method called "is_functional" doesn't mean it's a functional language.

This is correct, classes and functions are not dependent on indentation, they just don't need an end. And yes, there are no nested classes and functions (other than in object literals).
