The Pony compiler team introduces libponyc-standalone, a statically-linked library bundling the Pony compiler, LLVM, and runtime into a single binary for easier tool development. This allows developers to create custom compilation tools without managing complex dependency chains or shared libraries. The C API enables integration with various languages including C, Rust, Go, or Pony itself.
Background
Pony is a high-performance, actor-model programming language designed for safety and efficiency. The compiler traditionally required managing multiple dependencies including LLVM when building custom tools.
