00:24 <FromGitter> <redcodefinal> @BlaXpirit Actually I like crystal play it's just I miss IRB sometimes. Besides I've had a couple times where `crystal play` refused to give me an error or exception when running code. I've also had a weird issue with it freezing up my entire computer for 40+ seconds but it happens rarely so it's not that big of a deal. Is there any tool that supports breakpoints? This is why I kind of have some hope for icr b

00:24 <FromGitter> ... hoping we can get some pry-like commands in there.

00:31 <cerulean> we can improve crystal play and should. and debugging

00:34 <FromGitter> <redcodefinal> @cerulean Yeah I've been thinking of some feature requests I'd like to make, I think the easiest one would be to add a custom command line args field to the options. It only came to mind because I was testing speed with`benchmark` and it gave me this one `Warning: benchmarking without the '--release' flag won't yield useful results`.

00:35 <FromGitter> <redcodefinal> Although I'm pretty sure this would have to turn off the pretty data output sidebar on the right.

01:04 <FromGitter> <fridgerator> is this a bug, or is this expected behavior? https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/1w03

01:04 <FromGitter> <fridgerator> setting / getting an instance variable with and without `@` behaves differently

01:08 <FromGitter> <Sija> @fridgerator you need to use `self.property = value` notation

01:08 <FromGitter> <Sija> otherwise compiler creates local var instead

01:09 <FromGitter> <Sija> it’s expected behavior (ruby does the same)

01:10 <FromGitter> <Sija> see https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/1w04

01:11 <FromGitter> <fridgerator> hrm, for whatever reason I was thinking self was inferred

01:11 <FromGitter> <Sija> (behind the scenes it gets translated to `self.property=(value)` method call

01:11 <FromGitter> <Sija> it is, IIRC that’s the only exception

01:13 <FromGitter> <phoffer> self is inferred for method calls but not for assignment

04:08 <FromGitter> <stereosteve> here is my SI number parsing + formatting library for crystal: https://github.com/stereosteve/crystal-si

04:08 <FromGitter> <stereosteve> good first lib to write when learning a language

04:12 <FromGitter> <stereosteve> lemme know if you have any tips

07:01 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> @stereosteve awesome :tada:

08:38 <FromGitter> <yxhuvud> Hmm. Indexing an array with variable index and content sizes (depending on size of array the entries refer to). I guess that will end up needing to bring out raw Pointers to solve..

08:38 <FromGitter> <yxhuvud> ===the challenges of translating c code===

08:44 <FromGitter> <bew> ahah what are you porting? @yxhuvud

08:44 <FromGitter> <yxhuvud> @bew https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/st.

08:45 <FromGitter> <bew> bad link?

08:45 <FromGitter> <bew> 404

08:46 <FromGitter> <yxhuvud> it was missing a c at the end.

08:49 <FromGitter> <bew> wow awesome!

08:50 <FromGitter> <yxhuvud> not working yet though, even without using variable sized indices.

13:26 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> Nice article by @CodelessFuture https://medium.com/@codelessfuture/starting-a-project-with-crystal-and-kemal-90e2647e6c3b

13:48 <FromGitter> <bew> great!

14:00 <FromGitter> <fridgerator> :thumbsup:

14:21 <FromGitter> <eliasjpr> Thats a nice post

14:21 <FromGitter> <bew> do you know a TOML lib for crystal?

14:41 <FromGitter> <bew> nvm I've found https://github.com/manastech/crystal-toml, but last commit is in 04/2016...

16:42 <FromGitter> <redcodefinal> @sdogruyol thanks for the post! Didn't know sentry was thing, definitely will be using it in my projects in the future.

16:50 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> @redcodefinal thank you

16:53 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> @jwoertink awesome :tada: https://twitter.com/jeremywoertink/status/854739165061103616

16:54 <FromGitter> <redcodefinal> The transition begins ;D

16:54 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> this is really handy

16:55 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> my entire reporting infra could benefit from this :P

16:59 <FromGitter> <redcodefinal> Hey does anyone know what the word is on future ARM support? I'd love to switch a project of mine over to Kemal but I'm using GPIO on RPi3.

16:59 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> i've heard that people compiling crystal on rpi3

17:00 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> better ask @ysbaddaden

17:00 <RX14> sentry looks pretty efficient not using inotify

17:00 <RX14> i have bindings, I should make a generic file watcher shard

17:01 <RX14> not sured how it works on osx though

17:03 <FromGitter> <redcodefinal> If so I'll write the C bindings for http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/ (bcm2835) there's already a pretty straightforward ruby library that uses it.

17:28 <FromGitter> <bew> @redcodefinal oh yeah that would be awesome!

17:29 <FromGitter> <stereosteve> @RX14 if you're okay using a non-crystal watcher project, I've had good experiences with: ⏎ https://github.com/cortesi/modd

17:29 <RX14> i use entr myself

17:29 <RX14> so i'm good

17:30 <FromGitter> <stereosteve> ohh didn't know about that... will check out

17:50 <FromGitter> <jwoertink> Thanks @sdogruyol :D

17:50 <FromGitter> <drosehn> yeah, `entr` is a nice general tool.

17:58 <FromGitter> <jwoertink> @stereosteve 1.21 GW!?!!!?? ONE POINT TWENTY ONE GIGAWATTS!??

17:59 <FromGitter> <bew> What Oo?

18:00 <FromGitter> <jwoertink> lol `SI.parse("1.21 GW") # => {1.21e9, "W"}`

18:21 <FromGitter> <fridgerator> haha

18:21 <FromGitter> <fridgerator> thats a great example

18:24 <FromGitter> <stereosteve> Yes! definitly best SI reference in pop culture

18:26 <FromGitter> <stereosteve> I wrote the lib just for that line in the readme... it was allll worth it

18:26 <FromGitter> <fridgerator> hahaha

18:33 <FromGitter> <elorest> Has anyone used a sass compiler written in crystal?

18:34 <RX14> i doubt it

18:34 <FromGitter> <jwoertink> only one I saw was https://github.com/vonKingsley/crass

18:34 <FromGitter> <jwoertink> but when I tried it a while back, it didn't work

18:35 <FromGitter> <elorest> also it seems like sentry is becoming the standard replacement for guard but I’ve used this before with pretty good success. https://github.com/f/guardian

18:39 <FromGitter> <elorest> I suppose you could always just call CLI SassC to compile sass.

18:39 <FromGitter> <elorest> They it gets rid of the ruby dependency.

18:40 <FromGitter> <elorest> Does anyone know of a capistrano like alternative?

20:34 <crystal-gh> [crystal] bcardiff pushed 2 new commits to master: https://git.io/vShRC

20:34 <crystal-gh> crystal/master f40bcb3 Jonne Haß: Rename WeakRef#target to WeakRef#value...

20:34 <crystal-gh> crystal/master 8b0fd63 Jonne Haß: WeakRef: Do not register non heap pointers as diasappearing links...

21:17 <FromGitter> <fridgerator> I do't, but you could deploy a crystal application with capistrano

23:05 <crystal-gh> [crystal] MakeNowJust opened pull request #4314: Enum: fixed #4269, work fine with private (master...fix/enum/private) https://git.io/vShS4

23:53 <FromGitter> <eliasjpr> Best way to encode and decode strings in crystal?

23:53 <FromGitter> <carsonbaker> Encode/decode as what?

23:53 <FromGitter> <eliasjpr> Utf 8

23:54 <FromGitter> <elorest> @fridgerator yeah that’s what i currently do and it’s fine. I was just thinking that not having to install ruby to develop would be cool. Although to be fair I will probably always have ruby installed...

23:55 <FromGitter> <carsonbaker> Elias, can you give more context to what you're trying to do?

23:55 <FromGitter> <eliasjpr> puts "\xC3".force_encoding('iso-8859-1').encode('utf-8') #-> Ã

23:55 <FromGitter> <eliasjpr> Basically I would like to accomplish the same in crystal

23:56 <FromGitter> <eliasjpr> 👆🏻ruby

23:56 <FromGitter> <Sija> lol

23:59 <FromGitter> <eliasjpr> ?
