Last Week in Pony - February 9, 2025
Be wary of nightly Ponyc builds. They may be broken. The Pony team is working on it. In the meantime, stick with the latest release.
Items of Note¶
Broken Nightly Builds¶
On Friday, we merged a PR that makes improvements to the cycle detector. Unfortunately, that isn’t quite what happened. Instead, we have stress tests failing. I wouldn’t trust any nightlies until we get this sorted out. Keep an eye on this Zulip thread for updates.
Pony Development Sync¶
The recording from this week’s Development Sync is now available on Vimeo.
I didn’t jot down any notes about what was discussed, but I’m sure it was a great conversation. I mean, I was there so I should remember but, yada yada yada: you should check it out!
Office Hours¶
We had a nice sized crowd at Office Hours this week. Red and I discussed the Lori based HTTP server that Red is playing around with and then a new attendee Steve Leak showed up with a number of excellent “can you explain questions”.
If you are learning Pony, Office Hours is a great place to get assistance.
Attendees were: Red, Steve Leak, Adrian, Alex Webber, Nathan Watts, and myself.
