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.

Happy New Year, happy new release! 🎇
1.15.0 is out with a new, efficient event loop, support for MinGW-W64 and MSYS2, improvements for BSD platforms, and many more features.
Watch out for the formatter changes, they'll likely affect your codebase!

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.

We are thrilled to announce the release of Crystal 1.13.0
https://t.co/5Q85vbofkS

You can now rescue module types! And there are a few improvements on parallelism. Happy Crystalling!

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.

Happy 3rd anniversary of Crystal 1.0! 🥳🎉
Now we're already approaching the 12th minor release 🚀

Did you know how to approximate any realease date since 1.0?

So we're expecting Crystal 1.100 in April of 2046. Long way to go! 😆

We're happy to announce that Julien Portalier (ysbaddaden) is rejoining the Crystal Core Team. He's working on Crystal at https://t.co/X0kleag7v9 with a focus on improving multi-threading.

[Crystal Language @CrystalLanguage]

We're partnering with @84codes to improve Crystal's concurrency model for multi-threading. This is going to be a lengthy process, but it's already bearing some early fruits.

Crystal sits between dynamic languages like Ruby and compiled languages like C++. Maybe it is a good language to bridge programming language communities... 🤔 Read what Bright has to say:

Crystal is getting a more formalized mechanism for discussing language change proposals. This should help to line out which steps are needed and clarify where a proposal is standing.
The first order of business is an RFC about the process itself: 🤓
