Clarify a couple intro points #348
Comments
@SeanTAllen The video you linked in this issue is no longer available. Do you recall the video, and are you able to find an alternative link? I see this issue as needing someone outside Pony as it a kind of "mismatched expectations" issue. After reading the Introduction content, what does a new reader later realize was misleading? Short list of points of clarification:
I also would like to get outside perspective on how we can make this first page a better bottom-line for Pony. For example, I think the "Guiding Principles" can be almost entirely removed, but I am too far removed from knowing if it contains useful information for new readers. (My thought on this is the "Guiding Principles" is too explicit a list for someone first arriving to Pony and is better expressed throughout the Tutorial as motivation for design elements.) |
It was someone learning pony and recording it. Beyond that, I don't remember |
In the intro to the tutorial, we mention that Pony is deadlock-free.
After watching https://www.twitch.tv/videos/378865137, I think its reasonable to assume that many people will interpret that was "livelock" free as well. A short clarification of that would make sense.
From the video, I think it also behooves us to expand a bit on "data race free" as it relates to concurrent access to memory as compared to "you wrote your algo wrong".
