## News and Blog Posts

- Roberto Dip wrote a "A brief dive into the Pony programming language" which also spawned some discussions on [Lobsters](https://lobste.rs/s/tloyu3/brief_dive_into_pony_programming) and [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/programmingcirclejerk/comments/6tvwvj/in_pony_divide_by_zero_results_in_zero_from_a/) which is mostly about how division by zero (for integers) is handled in Pony. As a small refresher, the tutorial section about [Divide by Zero](https://tutorial.ponylang.io/gotchas/divide-by-zero.html).

## Items of note

- The Pony development sync from November 1st 2017 has been recorded for your listening pleasure and is available via [Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/915353757). Wanna enjoy the great wonders of how a Pony PR is discussed and merged as if you stood right behind the one who did it? Then tune in.
