ABOUT THE TALK:

In the last ten years, we have seen an explosion of languages some iterate some regress, and some rethink everything. Crystal is placed in the middle of the language evolution we are seeing today. It takes the essence of modern dynamic languages and combines it with new and old compiler technology while mixing in some fresh takes on language features. This is a look at how crystal fits into the programming language ecosystem and some of the basics of getting started.

SPEAKER:

I have written software, speed up products and advocate for privacy on both borders and both coasts and now tapping those keys in the city with broad shoulders.
