Items of Note¶
Last Week in Pony - June 29, 2025¶
There will be no Last Week in Pony post next week. I’ll be traveling and can’t write it. The next post will be on July 6th.
Pony 0.60.0 Release¶
We’re still working toward the Pony 0.60.0 release. We’ve hit some serious oddness when trying to build and test ponyup on Windows for Arm. You can follow the progress in the PR. Once we sort that out, a few tasks remain.
At this point, we should be doing a release sometime in July or by August at the latest.
Office Hours¶
This past Office Hours was Red, Adrian, and me. We went over some generics issues that line up with the FAQ question How can I write code that works for every kind of Number in Pony?. The given solutions didn’t work because Adrian needed pi to be defined on FloatingPoint, which it currently isn’t. This will be a topic of discussion at a future sync.
We all agreed that we don’t see any reason the methods that F32 and F64 share shouldn’t all be defined on FloatingPoint.
A note about the June 30th Office Hours: I’ll be traveling and won’t be able to host Office Hours. The Zoom link will still work, so you can meet with fellow Pony users without me.
