Ponylang - what happened to it?

There used to be a Ponylang track in exercism; any reason why it was removed?

          {
            "language": "Pony",
            "slug": "pony",
            "active": false,

            "blurb": "Pony is an open-source, object-oriented, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high-performance programming language.",
            "version": 3,
            "online_editor": {
              "indent_style": "space",

It looks like it was never actually launched.

This was probably started by volunteers and left at a certain state. If you want to take up the task and carry it to completion, I am sure you would be very welcome :)

gotcha! thanks for letting me know. I’m still learning myself, but I love the language, so hopefully I’ll Be able to contribute something soon.
