You'd be looking for the tutorial: https://tutorial.ponylang.org/

It would be good to show off the language more prominently, on the home page.

You could consider some runnable demos like python and rust's. [1], [2]

Not every language presents itself as an object to be marketed.

Also, pony is still an early product. It's secure, but it still needs more work before extremely important work happens using pony.

In that regard, it's better to attract only those who propel themselves then to attract a bunch of users who wont/cant contribute and will impose their demands on the core team.

It's just not time to market yet.

I'm on mobile and I don't see any code or links to code. Is it different on desktop?

interesting. do you see code on mobile when you visit:

Yep! I suppose I didn't notice the hamburger navigation at the top left.

The tutorial is hosted on Gitbook. I'm finding that it updates very slowly on mobile for me. Even if it isn't broken, it feels broken. Hadn't noticed that as an issue previously.

This is an issue I've noticed with GitBook in general. I think I began to notice it in 5.0

that's good to know and somewhat depressing.
