Yes I know, but in the context of Pony, 1/0==0 only applies to integers, not FP numbers. The article doesn't make it clear.

Were are speaking of integers here not FP numbers.

How does it compare relatively to dgraph's Badger library?

Right now I found Pony more approachable than Haskell. Maybe because that I never fully grok monads (probably my fault not persevering enough), I always had problems composing monads.

Also the promise of Pony is a garbage collection that is concurrent with program execution and since I want to write low latency server code this feature sounds very appealing.

I've been looking at Haskell, Rust and Go for helping with parallelism but decided to go with a less known language: Pony. Not used actors a lot right now but looks really promising.
