Hello, Pony enthusiasts! Time for another weekly update on the Pony programming language. Things have been quiet this week – maybe everyone’s taking a break before diving into fall projects, or working on things behind the scenes. Either way, let’s keep the tradition going. Even quiet weeks have their place in our community. So grab your favorite drink and let’s see what’s been happening.

We’re back after a short break! I was traveling last week, so there was no Last Week in Pony post. This week, we have a few updates and some discussion from the last Office Hours.
