As always with the languages, I think about what the ecosystem looks like. What libraries exist? Seems there is a list of available packages on their website: https://www.ponylang.io/use/packages/

I clicked one at random (net_ssl) to get a sense of what a package looked like in this ecosystem and how to install it, but it takes you straight to a github page which says it's deprecated and to use a different package (ssl) instead, which is not listed on the packages page.

Not a great look, although it looks like it was only deprecated 2 weeks ago, so I'll give them a pass.

With such sanctified list of libraries, I think it is not unlikely, that more packages exist out there, that are simply not listed, or that there are repos out there, showing how to do things, but are not isolated libraries.

Maybe a third-party awesome list or so would be interesting.

Other than that, I guess one could get involved in the community to ask questions about things one needs for some project, or search more specifically for things one needs and hope to then find them.

Thanks. I had missed that.
