Last Week in Pony

Last Week in Pony - March 1, 2026

This week’s theme song is Rawhide and it’s so good, we are gracing you with 3 different versions. And this week calls for multiple versions because it has been a big week:

  • ponyc 0.61.0 shipped with a new \exhaustive\ annotation for match expressions
  • Three new libraries hit their first releases
  • Eight Pony patterns were published
  • The website got a top-to-bottom reorganization

Last Week in Pony - February 22, 2026

Crank up this week’s theme song — Horse Outside by the Rubberbandits — and settle in. Big week. We welcomed a new committer, shipped three brand-new libraries, and put out ten releases across five projects. There’s also a persistent HashMap bug fix that enabled json-ng to drop its custom null type, three new Pony patterns, and a blog post about teaching Claude to write Pony.

Last Week in Pony - November 23, 2025

Work this week focused on embedding LLVM’s lld linker into the Pony compiler to remove the C toolchain dependency. We’re starting with Linux and will move to other OSes later. MacOS CI is blocked by a GitHub Actions “hashFiles” issue, so there are no macOS nightly builds. Office Hours met twice—on November 10 and 17—to cover planning and progress for the embedded lld work.
