[LLVMdev] FW: Pony Language: LLVM Project

[John Criswell]

Dear Sebastian,

I've added an entry to the ProjectsWithLLVM page 
(http://llvm.org/ProjectsWithLLVM/#pony).  Please take a look; I 
modified some of the text to fix spelling and punctuation.  If something 
needs to be adjusted, please let me know.

Regards,

John Criswell
