Ponyc: Can someone give a brief comparison between pony, go and rust ?

[mingodad]

I'm reading the tutorial and it's interesting so far but I'm wondering if pony somehow duplicates what rust is proposing and also I saw some mentions to "go" on the documentation, can someone describe the distinctive characteristics of "pony" compared to other languages ?

It seems that the concepts described through the tutorial can be applied on any language except that the compiler/interpreter will not catch violations.

So far one strong attractive for me is the overall language/compiler size, although like anything else once created it will almost always grow in size/complexity.

Could "pony" also generate code for other languages ? I mean the compiler will do all the consistency/validations and through code generator generate code in other languages like C#, C/C++, JAVA, JAVASCRIPT, PYTHON, ...

Cheers !

Thank you. We eventually give a detailed comparison on ponylang.org.
