Visual Studio Code

Other helpful tools

• Pony Patterns

Pony Patterns is a cookbook style collection of patterns for working with Pony. Most folks aren’t familiar with writing actor-model based code. Even fewer are familiar with doing it in a typed language that features causal messaging. Wondering how to do something? Check out the patterns and see if there’s one that solves your problem. Patterns is a curated community-driven project. Feel free to open an issue requesting a pattern on how to do X, or open a PR to contribute your own pattern.

• Library Scaffolding Generator

Library Scaffolding Generator is designed to get you up and running with everything you need to start writing your own excellent Pony library.

• Corral

Simple dependency manager for the Pony language.
