Re^2: Parrot, the future of dynamic languages ?

If I go to www.poniecode.org, there isn't much more than a press release of a year and a half ago, and after some more clicking, one quite old download. Is anything actually going on with Ponie?

Fotango are in the driving seat with Ponie. See: http://opensource.fotango.com/software/ponie/

Yeah, that's what I mean with "after some clicking". The page you point at has four Ponie related links: The initial press release of July 2003. A 9 point FAQ, which would suggest Ponie is finished in summer 2005 (because the estimate is 2 years). Of course, this could mean the FAQ isn't being maintained. A plan with 3 milestones. No information on how many milestones have been reached. A download page, with a tarball of the very first snapshot. The files in this snapshot are dated August 21, 2003. Now, there might be a flurry of activity round Ponie, and perhaps it's close to being released. But judging from the website, it's all but dead.	[reply]

Check out the Ponie news groups. They've commited code changes as recently as last month, so I'd say it hasn't died.	[reply]
