You're looking for something that's readable but more efficient and smaller than #JSON or #YAML?
Structure data with #ASCII control codes like people did in 1963!

There's also a library in @CrystalLanguage available.

Reminder that the #Montreal.rb #Ruby #Meetup #talk "Crystal: Ruby with Static Typing" is happening on Feb 11, 2026 at 7pm at Anticafe Place Des Arts, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

New version 1.19.0 of the Crystal compiler is out now. Some improvements to Time, subprocess spawning, JSON/YAML handling, XML memory fixes, and Windows compiling performance increases. #crystallang #crystal-lang forum.crystal-lang.org/t/crystal-1-...
For #adventofcode 2025 problems, I cycled through #crystallang, #elixir, #Rust, and #Scala -- each problem in two languages. Looking back, I enjoyed working with Elixir (followed by Scala). I think the pipe operator was a big factor as it simplifies data processing.

Claude Code made significant progress since last night (85%!), all pushed to the repo: github.com/luislavena/j...
Now asking to convert run_tests runner to proper crystal spec (using macros): gist.github.com/luislavena/5...

Screenshot of Claude Code output showing Step 5, running tests (invoking crystal spec) and showing successful output for both encoding and all tests.
Following @simonwillison.net test of porting JustHTML to another language, decided to task Opus 4.5 and port it to #crystallang, been running for 2 hours, ran out of context space 1 time, but looks promising.
Announcing the next #Montreal.rb #Ruby #Meetup with the title "Crystal: Ruby with Static Typing". It will take place on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 6:30pm.

The only thing that makes this worse is that compiling #CrystalLang takes nearly 45 minutes now for production. So missing some runtime bug means nearly an hour before it's fixed. This is why #Lucky focuses on development compile catches.
It takes me 2 minutes and 21 seconds to run a single spec in #CrystalLang. The actual spec completes in 145 milliseconds. Absolutely brutal for productivity 😫 Hoping this drops once I can delete some old files.
Main blocker is the #CrystalLang, the game is written with Crystal and Raylib, which means it can build into everything that both Raylib and Crystal supports. it seems WebAssembly is not yet a supported target in Crystal.
Just released Rosetta v1.0.0, an #i18n shard for #CrystalLang, about four years after its inception. Aside from a some QoL improvements it now also supports key nesting, a feature that was on the wishlist for a very long time.

Hello, world and #CrystalLang community. Getting the new account setup!

If, for whatever reason, you find yourself wanting a ruby-like language that isn't #ruby ... come over and give #CrystalLang a shot?

Usually I'm using DDG but I had another session with Google open and I just searched whether #CrystalLanguage has in-built Shell escaping nowadays and the first match was a website for a commercial auth solution […]

A Claude Code terminal interface showing a successful Bash command execution. The command "docker compose run --rm app -- crystal spec spec/routers/api/resource" is displayed followed by the output "Finished in 90.68 milliseconds"
Is so much fun watch Claude Code implement some features when your feedback cycles are really fast. Thank you #crystallang for that 🚀

Screenshot of systemctl status for sept-web.service showing the service running for 3 months and 6 days since March 1st, 2025, with PID 180, using 51.8M memory and 3min 17.124s CPU time.

After 3 months I had to restart a #crystallang service because it was eating too much memory! 52MB! Outrageous! Thankfully now it's back to it's regular memory usage!😅

After a while of playing with Inertia.js for a Crystal project, I came to realize it does not cut for my needs.

In the end, it will offer 3 factions, with a 3rd faction defaulting to the Infini-Vaeria class/species unless you want to define yourt own name, which may be included with the entire game purchase or DLC.
