Hi Sean Allen here. Pony core team member. Friends with Sylvan since 1988. Sylvan is still involved with Pony but he doesn't contribute directly to the codebase these days. Microsoft isn't involved with Pony- it's still an all-volunteer project. A number of people associated with/working on Pony are also part of the Verona project from Microsoft Research. There's a lot of cross fertilization going on between Verona and Pony. A number of interesting ideas from Verona will probably find their way back into Pony (although many of them are "below the covers" so folks probably won't be aware). The current Pony core team can be seen here: https://github.com/orgs/ponylang/teams/core/members https://github.com/orgs/ponylang/teams/core/members
