I'm going to join the choir saying that languages need a concise description of what makes them special easily accessible — but while syntax is important, with a language like Pony (where the cool stuff is in the semantics), the cool semantics should be upfront.

It seems, from some skimming of the first like 10 pages of the guide, that Pony is an object-oriented language with actors, and a built-in concept of mutability of references. What kind of references are there? You say that deadlock is impossible; how — do you have session types or something? You say that nulls don't exist; how — do you have linear typing? How do you express capabilities?

Essentially, give me a one-page overview of the static and dynamic semantics (i.e. type system and runtime semantics) that gives me all I need to know about this language to decide whether I want to learn more about it.

The language looks cool, but all documentation I've seen so far seems to assume that the reader doesn't even know what static typing is. To get knowledgeable people interested, I think it's useful to have a pitch that appeals to people who are already familiar with a bunch of languages.
