Crystal

Hi Language Lovers!

March is Crystal month. I have been re-watching the whole Breaking Bad series to get ready.

If you like Ruby but are tired of:

• how slow it is
• using comments or naming to mimic static typing
• the complicated deployment toolchain
  Crystal might be right up your alley.

It is a compiled, mostly statically typed, very Ruby-like language that will give you a lot of safety while keeping the fun and beauty of programming in Ruby.

We have some talks for you.

Talks

Luís Ferreira (https://twitter.com/zamith (https://twitter.com/zamith))) will be giving the intro talk all the way from Braga Portugal. If you want a spoiler you can see his talk at Eurucamp 2015 here http://confreaks.tv/videos/eurucamp2015-crystal-the-programming-language. But seriously, you should come to the meetup so you can ask him some questions!

Serdar Dogruyol ( https://twitter.com/sdogruyol) , coming to us via internetz from Istanbul, will be talking about his experience building a simple-yet-powerful web framework kemal ( https://github.com/sdogruyol/kemal ). There will also be a demo!
