Congrats on the release. As someone whose day job is elixir but whose side project passion right now is rust, a high performance, strongly typed, actor model language like Pony is right up my alley.

My one hang up right now is the other half of the elixir magic: OTP. In particular supervision trees and genservers.

While Pony has an actor model and message passing for concurrency, I wasn't able to find anything OTP-like. What's more, I read some things that it was even impossible to express in the language since there's no mechanism to block and wait for a message. Is this true? Are there any plans down the line for support of this?
