Has anything new happened to the language?

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.

Do you need any help with Apple Silicon transition? I've purchased a new mac mini recently and looking for an open-source project to contribute.
