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

出道紀念日丨張紋嘉分享黑圖「我真係無整容!只係箍咗牙」 陳年MV「殃及池魚」 網民錯重點聚焦Stanley

請支持娛壹Patreon | #HotCha #張紋嘉 #Crystal #Stanley #邱士縉 #娛壹 | #MEWE香港娛樂

由張惠雅(Regen)、#張紋嘉(#Crystal)和黎美言(Winkie)組成的 #HotCha,於2007年4月4日出道,惟三女於2014年拆夥,昨日Crystal在社交網分享舊相黑圖,紀念出道周年的日子。

Crystal寫道:「話說今日係出道周年紀念日,今年特意搵啲好舊好舊嘅相,睇完真係喊出嚟嘅中度黑圖分享一下😌太黑個啲真係post 完可以即刻轉行。睇完記得讚我而家靚咗啲㗎啦,等我平衡返個心理,同我講多次,我真係無整容!只係箍咗牙。」黑圖包括喊相、箍牙相、陳年MV look、劇照... #朱薰:「鍾意全部」,#朱栢謙:「大愛無私呀」

10張舊相,Crystal逐張介紹,自嘲最後一張箍牙相是震撼彈:「而家望番真係唔明白,點解我咁嘅樣箍住牙,大家都要我出道~我當時見到人哋個個都好靚,我平日完全唔想笑唔想講嘢。但我每日就係要笑要講嘢要唱歌要跳舞,仲要明知當時每拍一個MV,我呢個樣就會留一世。而家大個,我睇返我當然可以得啖笑啦😂但係當時嘅心理陰影面積真係應該好大。」

而網民的另一焦點,就是第4張的MV相,Crystal寫道:「駱克道造型(當時嘅我覺得好型)我知我殃及池魚,但係我呢個look 冇獨照」她所指殃及池魚的「池魚」,就是身後的 #MIRROR 成員大表哥 #Stanley(#邱士縉),當年大表哥仍未參加《#全民造星》比賽,仍是寂寂無名舞蹈員的他,為HotCha《Hot Lady》的MV伴舞,當時是2012年,身穿牛仔衫褲黑黑實實,身型比現在的他瘦削。

#大表哥 留言:「呢個係我人生第一個跳嘅MV 😂」Crystal用驚訝emoji回覆:「第一個😮😮」,唔少網民認出大表哥,紛紛留言:「第四張相你後面係Stanley 喎!」、「大表哥刀中槍」、「第四張相嗰個係stanley大表哥 錯重點 Happy anniversary 🎉」、「點解個樣可以冇乜變」、「Stanley好瘦」。

出道16年,Crystal回覆《娛壹》:「最大感觸係時間過得實在太快!」至於Stanley曾幫自己拍MV,她謂「我記得佢㗎!」而令Stanley被殃及池魚,Crystal表示:「Post 之前已經問准咗,費事尷尬!

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.

X is for Xtal, a common abbreviation for crystals (yeah, I know, but c'mon...)

Here we have a Quartz Xtal "phantom" isolated on a pale gray background. The crystal is a single terminated point with a tip that (I suspect) of being previously chipped & touched up by the stone polisher. Inside the clear Quartz, we can see multiple green "ghosts" or phantom outlines of where the crystal growth stopped and started in the past. These green markers are probably the mineral Chlorite.

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

@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.
