I always wondered whether the language had or had not been named because of that show about colorful, pastel-, candy-colored equines, of which I'm totally not a fan of.


The answer would be no, but we have no objections to equines of any color.


Have you seen the FIM++ language? Perhaps somebody should re-write the interpreter in Pony.

Have you watched the last couple of seasons? I liked them more.


I think it's named after rhyming slang for crap (pony and trap).


also nope:

it's from the phrase "and I want a pony"



that would be it
