Before version 2.0 <samp><span class="command">ponysay</span></samp> was written primarily in GNU Bash script; the
truncater was however written in C, because it is simple, fast, does not pose
addition dependencies, and is easy to do byte hacking in.
<p>Sometimes shell is too slow, in these cases Perl was used; Perl was already required
by <samp><span class="command">cowsay</span></samp>, it is also similar to shell, but also supports hash tables.
<p>However since version 2.0 we were trying to move from all there languages and only
use Python 3, which as been accomplished in version 2.1.
