I'm a Crystal @CrystalLanguage Core Team member and I created Kemal @crystalkemal (3.8k+ ⭐, 5M+ downloads).

I've been building Crystal tools since 2015. Now I'm working on gcry, a %100 Crystal garbage collector for Crystal. Already at ~89% of Boehm GC throughput with ~0.95x RSS.

I also maintain the entire Kemal ecosystem, run Crystal Weekly and Crystal Community, and write free books in Turkish and English.

I can't find a job right now. So I'm going full time on Crystal Open Source. I need $1,000/month to keep doing this.

If my work has helped you or your company, please consider sponsoring.

I'm giving a talk about #crystallang at #FOSDEM
It's going to be an intro, but I'll try not to bore anyone who's already familiar with the language. Hope to see you there =)

PS. I'll bring some swag.

Core Team member @ysbaddaden started toying with BLAKE3, trying to assess how much faster it was compared to SHA256 in Crystal… What started as a simple benchmark ended up in a discovery of a performance issue related to structs and its Ruby-based syntax.

Do you know why @LavinMQ can handle so many connections and process that many messages?

There are several reasons, but one of them is because developers can understand the library code the application runs.
