The story of the last week in Pony? Well, I guess you could say it was a story of documentation generation and a story of Windows and a story of DNS. There’s a new Pony compiler version running free on the streets and some Al Green music in the sheets.
Welcome to the latest issue of the “mostly weekly” Pony newsletter “Last Week in Pony”. We’ve got a lot to catch up on as we’ve been a little remiss in keeping a regular LWIP schedule. We suggest the following soundtrack for this week’s episode… “Return of the Mack”.
Progress on the PostgreS(QL), and updates to ponyc and Lori!
Lots of news this week! New releases and new projects oh my! So much that I’ll be skipping a principle this week.
This week was a little bit quiet on the official front. I don’t want to start any rumours about anything else going on in the community so I’ll say nothing ;-)
Developer Sync, another Principle, and the return of Issues of the Week!
This week we add a new section to This Week in Pony where your (currently nomadic) Author will highlight a language trait or principle that, if you are new to pony may surprise you.

Hopefully I’ll have some projects in the future that get me to dive back in. I can’t thank the community and core team enough for being truly awesome and for teaching me so much ever since I got involved as a high school student back in 2016. This language and community have come such a long way since I got involved back then, and it’s been an amazing experience to have participated in some small part of that. I constantly refer to Pony as an inspiration and an example of a great type system, runtime design, and set of values. I’ll still be hanging around in Zulip, and hopefully I’ll be back to contributing in the future.”
We’ll keep the seat warm for you Theo!
