Details
Right before summer, let's have some lightning talks! We will limit the night to 3 lightning talks. To have better chances of having yours accepted, submit it before Tuesday here: https://montrealrb.com/talks/new
Doors will open at 6PM and the meetup starts at 6:30.
Talk level: beginner
The crystal language is a statically-typed, compiled, and ruby-like language with terrific performance.
While still young, it could be the next ruby with enough love and interest, capitalizing on the fact that its learning curve is quasi null for any decent rubyist.
This talks will outline the current state of the language, its advantages, drawbacks and perspective.
