Prior discussion from 4 months ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24398469 Has anything new happened to the language?

pony core team member here.

There has been nothing large or dramatic in the last 4 months. We are plugging away at improving ecosystem tools, the runtime, and a variety of other things; incremental improvement.

We spent money from our open collective account recently to purchase a couple Apple Silicon mac minis so we can get pony working on Apple Silicon machines. That's probably the biggest "outside the community" news that is coming.

And I'm probably stretching the definition of "outside the community" there.

I never saw Pony described as high performance. Now I'm interested

The tag line that has carried over on all the website versions is:

"Pony is an open-source, object-oriented, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high-performance programming language"
