Virtual Users’ Group

The Pony community is spread across the world. There aren’t enough people in any one city to sustain a local meetup, so we run a virtual users’ group instead.

VUG meetings feature presentations on Pony-related topics, followed by discussion. Talks have covered everything from the runtime’s backpressure system to using Pony for game development. Anyone can attend.

Participating

Join the #virtual users’ group channel on Zulip. We use that channel to coordinate meetings and discuss topics.

To keep up with meeting times, subscribe to the VUG calendar.

Giving a Talk

Have something you’d like to present? Post in the #virtual users’ group channel on Zulip. Talks don’t need to be polished or formal. If you’ve built something with Pony, solved an interesting problem, or explored a corner of the language, that’s a talk.

Recordings

Past VUG recordings are available on Vimeo. A few highlights:

• An informal tour of the Pony backpressure system
• Pony vs Rust: How they both drive you mad at compile time
• The Art of Forgetting: Garbage Collection in Pony
