Crystal: Fast as C, Slick as Ruby
Ary Borenszweig and Juan Wajnerman, the folks behind Crystal, joined the show to talk about the goals of the language, how itβs the best of both worlds between Ruby and C, why if itβs so close to and inspired by Ruby why not just give their time/effort to Ruby instead, the new compiler, and we also discussed whatβs left before Crystal can go 1.0.
