Hi,
Excellent question. I can't address "healthy or active" as those would really be your own metrics to decide.
We have a lot of things going on including:
Work on a new dependency manager: https://github.com/ponylang/corral https://github.com/ponylang/corral
Work on an installation tool to make it easier to get started with Pony: https://github.com/ponylang/corral https://github.com/ponylang/corral
A lot of work has gone into making our release process across projects much easier to deal with as it was problematic before.
Joe, a core team member, has been working on ideas to address problems that we've seen folks experience with Pony. He has a semi-functional experimental compiler that will hopefully see the light of day eventually.
We've been working on some runtime improvements that will eventually see the light of day.
Most of the work that goes on these days is in repos other than the ponyc repo that most people tend to look at.
In the end, the important thing to know is that Pony is a volunteer driven project and thus, moves at a different timeline than something like Go or Rust with a lot of backing.
Those of working on Pony are doing it because we believe that in the long run, the time we put in outside of our jobs will be worth it. But our timeline is probably a lot longer than other folks.
