2 days ago out of boredom i went back to recording the number of issues of #zig, #rust, #go, #crystal and #nim each day.
changes i noticed since i stopped recording months ago:
* go has broken 8000 😭
* crystal has gone up a couple hundred, but is still the lowest
* nim is about the same as it was, if anything a few less i think
I found an interesting rock so I took it home, as is the rule.

Crystal power is the amplification of spectral energy by directing it through the atomic crystal lattice. The outermost layers of the lattice are the crystal faces. The faces set the initial angle of the penetrating energy waves.

'RuPaul's Drag Race' queen Peppermint leads new show 'Call Me Mother' on Roku TV
"I can't wait to see what fresh talent Canada has to offer. I'm particularly interested in exploring drag that doesn't have as much mainstream representation," #Peppermint said in a press statement, while #Crystal added: "I loved filming the series and I can't wait for viewers to meet our gorgeous, adopted families. Viewers can expect warmth, humour, diversity, lewks and bucketloads of talent. You're going to DIE!"

#Carnelian is a different form of #SiliconDioxide compared to quartz. The individual #SiO2 molecules have been arranged differently.
Carnelian is a kind of #Chalcedony, with its color influenced by impurities of iron oxide in the #crystal.

Beide stehen im Verdacht illegal Handel mit #Betäubungsmittel, insbesondere #Methamphetamin #Crystal, zu treiben.
Der Durchsuchung unmittelbar vorausgegangen war die Feststellung einer Sendung. Diese enthielt, versteckt in Dekorationsartikeln, 10kg gepresstes Methamphetamin.

Scientists put a jiggling piece of sapphire crystal in what’s known as a “cat state,” in which an object exists in two different states simultaneously. It’s a situation reminiscent of physicists’ favorite imaginary feline, Schrödinger’s cat, known for being alive and dead at the same time.

So #Nim 2 is coming out soon and I'm falling in love with the language. Nim is simple by design, like Go, but unlike Go it has metaprogramming.
I used to bet on #Crystal as my preferred language for the next 10+ years, but I'm not that into OOP, and it lacks a module system.
Unfortunately, both are struggling to make it into the mainstream.

For the first time ever, researchers have watched the mesmerizing process of #nanoparticles #self-assembling into solid materials. In the stunning new videos, particles rain down, tumble along stairsteps and slide around before finally snapping into place to form a #crystal’s signature stacked layers.

When some #atoms take up local arrangements that are different than that implied by the overall structure of the #crystal, studying the local structure gets more difficult — especially when the atoms are moving. In fact, the inability to clearly see these local effects means researchers are often not aware they can happen.

Crystal 1.7.3 is released! - The Crystal Programming Language
https://crystal-lang.org/2023/03/07/1.7.3-released/
#crystal
Welcome to the world of Crystal!
Crystal is an open-source object-oriented programming language, with a unique combination of features that make it blazingly fast, safe and programmer-friendly, granting high levels of productivity to development teams, with a very low memory footprint. To know more about this amazing language, dive into
https://crystal-lang.org/
Minimalist static file web server with single shell command
```shell
$ crystal eval -p 'require "http/server"; HTTP::Server.new([HTTP::StaticFileHandler.new(".")]).listen(8080)'

Also next article is usefull to start with Wasm in Crystal: https://crystal-lang.org/2022/04/06/1.4.0-released/#towards-wasm-support

Experimented with Kubernetes MutatingWebhooks over the weekend to solve this problem and wrote about it on ops.io: https://community.ops.io/jgaskins/kubernetes-webhooks-and-certs-for-those-webhooks-hbb

Bummed that I can't write #ruby extensions in #crystal. All roads seem to point to Crystalized Ruby (https://github.com/phoffer/crystalized_ruby) but that project hasn't been updated in six years.
Hi ruby.social!
Time for an #introduction since I just migrated from another instance.
I'm Vito, a senior #developer based in #Finland, where I work for event management platform #Brella on the #backend and infrastructure (mainly #Kubernetes and more on the #GoogleCloudPlatform).
I am interested in web #programming with #ruby, #rubyonrails, #crystal, as well as #containers, #docker, #kubernetes, #devops.
I also write a #blog at https://vitobotta.com on such topics.
Nice to meet you all!
Got a PR up today adding #Crystal support to #OpenRuntimes. https://github.com/open-runtimes/open-runtimes/pull/133
With this, #Appwrite and other platforms using OpenRuntimes will be able to magically gain support for Crystal.

I made a #project and it's released at https://github.com/viraptor/heapleak
Find the source of #Ruby memory leaks the easy(-ier) way.
It's based on the idea from Heapy, but annotates types better and is written in #crystal so ~11x faster in large heap dumps.
Other than @alexanderadam which profiles toot about the #crystal language ?
Now here's the fun part: On the ocean floor, seawater is incorporated into minerals of the sediments and shit (literally shit). It becomes one building block of the #crystal #lattice s.
The oceanfloor on the other hand isn't a static thing. It's constantly being driven around by #platetectonics . And after 100Mio years or another, it is usually roadkilled by another tectonic plate that is younger, hotter and lighter (like your mom) in a proces called #subduction.
Ooh, I'm trying to learn how to photograph clear crystals. Not really there yet but I'm trying.

Ended up just looking for a jagged #crystal and this is what it gave me. You can probably see how it took this and made the octopus out of it. To be honest it looks more like one of the #Octoroks from the #LegendofZelda.
#Crystal growing Saturday, time zero. Solution is a skin irritant, but use all your kitchenware for preparing it. Sigh. Nonetheless 8 year old is entranced. Will use #CrystalSaturday to track progress over their expected growth day.
Deploying #crystal on lambda with the #serverless framework is super simple. Works great even though https://github.com/spinscale/crystal-aws-lambda marks it as not quite production ready.
I like the programming language #Ruby. I see that #Crystal is very similar to Ruby.
However, I honestly don't understand what's meant by "a programming language for humans". That's all programming languages, right?
Most of the examples on https://crystal-lang.org/ say "this is easy to read...if you already know how to read Ruby".
Is it more accurate to describe Crystal as "a programming language for people who already know a similar programming language" or am I missing something?
Coming from #Ruby and now #Crystal, the more I look at #Go code the less I like it. OMG it's so freaking ugly! Ruby and Crystal are like poetry in terms of syntax beauty. #programming

One day I'll take a better photo of this #pyromorphite but for now a phone pic will have to do. From the Brookdale Mine in #Pennsylvania these lead #minerals are hard to come by.

A composite microscope photo of a single #Quartz #Crystal I found just sitting on the surface. I might clean this one up a bit more, but looking at it closely all the debris is comprised of tiny sphalerite and pyrite crystals.
All rocks are crystals if you look closely enough it seems - its just how big they are.
Hit my first real roadblock with #crystal: OpenSSL RSA keys. Seems like the OpenSSL support in the stdlib is just enough for HTTPS and the various forks I’ve found of OpenSSL_ext are incomplete or conflict with the stdlib OpenSSL. Guess it’s time to roll up my sleeves a little more.

Just went to compile my interruption tracker i ported to #CrystalLang in 2019.
My logical 🧠 knows that it's way better, and more maintainable than the #ChickenScheme version which started as a wee script and just grew out of control.
My ❤️ just doesn't want to fight with types. I also feel kinda betrayed by the language doing... 🤷♀️ whatever it did since 2019 that broke my code.
That's not fair to #Crystal since it's so young but... ❤️s aren't fair.
@thezerobit @veer66 #crystal is up there as well. Types aren't required as long as they can be inferred, so it's perfectly possible to write full programs without ever specifying a type.
Unlike Typescript and Python it's still a fully compiled static language though, so you still have to mind the types that are defined.
Just dropped a new blog post about #crystal https://watzon.tech/posts/introduction-to-the-crystal-standard-library-and-core-modules/
It's a brief introduction to the Crystal standard library for those who may have a #ruby background or at least a general programming background. Let me know what you think!
