<tgwilliams63> Hi! Had a question on how to handle secrets/settings. Say you want to store a token/secret key, would you rather do that in something like a JSON file and then read the contents in or possibly a separate crystal file and then require it? The doc I'm reading seems to handle it in environment variables but I'm not sure how to set those environment variables just in the vscode project that I'm working with so
<FromGitter>
... I figured a separate file that doesn't get checked into the repo might work best...
<t0nyandre>
I use Docker when I create new projects and there it's easy to specify environment variables and I would suggest you try that route ;) Easy as pie :P But .. you can also use a .dotenv file in the root of your project and source that file when you start your server/application
<RX14>
and the more stuff you ridgidly enforce the harder it is when that exception rers it's head

<tgwilliams63> @t0nyandre Thanks for the response! I'll take a look at docket and for now use a .dotenv method. Out of curiosity would the format of that file likely be json or something else?
<FromGitter>
<t0nyandre> I use docker-compose.yml which is.. yml :-P I can give you the file I use for reference and if you have the docker-compose docs as well you should be golden :-)

<FromGitter>
<tgwilliams63> Gotcha! Sorry for such low level questions and thanks for the advice.
<FromGitter>
<tgwilliams63> No rush!
<t0nyandre>
No question is bad questions :) I am by no means an expert but that's how we learn, I guess :)
<t0nyandre>
I also did a little shell script to check if deps. are installed so the docker container doesn't fetch all the deps. each time I rebuild the container

<Blacksmoke16> there any downside to just using --static on the crystal build, then copy that 1 executable into a scratch docker image vs having deps and such in the container?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> for prod at least, still need to come up with a good dev docker image that reloads app on changes

I am trying to specify output_style over at sass.cr (if anyone has used it). But how do I use the enums from libsass? The wrapper has defined alias OutputStyle to make it easier. Might be an easy answer but it's getting me irritated not being able to figure this out :p
<FromGitter>
<straight-shoota> @tgwilliams63 @t0nyandre I don't think it's good advice to recommend using docker just for being able to pass in some configuration values. Docker is there to solve entirely different problems and if you don't need otherwise, it makes no sense to use it just to define settings.
<FromGitter>
<straight-shoota> Environment variables are usually the best way to go and every IDE should have a way to configure that. You should definitely stay away from embedding secrets into a compiled binary.
<FromGitter>
<straight-shoota> @t0nyandre Why do you want to use the enum from libsass?
DTZUZO has joined #crystal-lang
<FromGitter>
<straight-shoota> You should be able to pass a value to output_style using `Sass::OutputStyle.from_value(1)`
<t0nyandre>
Well, I don't use Docker only for that reason and that's why I also suggested the .env file. I just said what I used as my developer environment. And if you look at the gist I use Docker as my closed environment with PostgreSQL ++ This is so I don't have to install multiple versions of my developer tools
<t0nyandre>
Thanks @straight-shoota :) I wanted to use the compressed output
<FromGitter>
<greenbigfrog> oh... apperently I can't use a `$1` in a heredoc SQL string embeded thingie

<faustinoaq> Hey community I have a big question about my future as a developer, here I go:
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> Hi community, I have a big question, in last year I have been collaborating with crystal, scry and amber, and I think they are great tools but I'm afraid I'm too young in the world of software development I mean at university I learnt C/C++, some Java, and Prolog. Also Python/Django and some PHP by myself . I did some webpages with PHP (Wordpress) and Python(Django) in the past. This year I got an
<FromGitter>
... opportunity to work in a project with C# and .Net and I haven't had any problem, the performance hasn't been an issue at all.
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> What I heard from my coworkers and classmates:
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> 1) PHP 7 is fast and symphony/laravel are awesome. ⏎ 2) C# and .Net Core are wonderful ⏎ 3) Scala is beautiful ⏎ 4) Java is robust and reliable. ⏎ 5) NodeJS is fast and easy. [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=5ab658c72b9dfdbc3a1985c6]
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> They told me they had bad experiences with Django and Rails in the past because was hard to maintain these kind projects mainly because was difficult to find developers and good support (no performance issues), then they went to Java(JVM)/C#/PHP/Js(Node). I'm afraid I would like these languages/technologies to much because I haven't found issue with them at all.
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> So, I would like to know, What are your experiences about Java (JVM Languages), C#, PHP and JS (Node.JS) ? 😅
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> ^ @/all
<oprypin>
in order: bad, ok, abysmal, abysmal
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> Oh, oprypin thank you for your fast reply! 👍
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> oprypin, Why was JVM ecosystem so bad for you? Just curious 😅
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> So, should I delete it, Or maybe publish it on other subreddit? WDYT? 😅
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> I mean actually I'm only confident enough with crystal community, I don't know what other answers I would receive in `r/programming` 😅
<oprypin>
i dont know, another subreddit will just be traumatizing
<FromGitter>

<bararchy> @faustinoaq I think it really matters where you live, in Israel I know C# and python rule supreme, I'm sure in Japan Ruby is much more popular. ⏎ I guess it all depends on the enviromnet and what tech people worked with most the last 5-6 years. ⏎ ⏎ In the last two years we see more and more Go-devs and need for Go developers [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=5ab66ff8e4ff28713a6c4e51]
<heaven31415>
do you know country where PHP is popular?
<FromGitter>
<bararchy> It was popular in Israel 10 years ago, but then better stuff happen, mostly nodejs (don't know if actually better but devs like it more)
<heaven31415>
well, my country still loves PHP
<heaven31415>
and I'm from Poland if you want to know where people love PHP
<heaven31415>
finally, I have generated factorial using macros only
<heaven31415>
can I use type restriction for macro arguments?

Ok, thank you
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> @bararchy Thank you for your comment! I really appreciated it 👍
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> I would say, here in Panama, Java and C# domain the country, mainly because Oracle and Microsoft are so mainstream here. 😅 ⏎ ⏎ PHP is used as well. Python and NodeJS are gaining track. ⏎ ⏎ Just a few developers are using Ruby here in Panama 😅 [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=5ab67a6327c509a7749c35fb]

<Groogy>
is it possible with the GZip class to just pass it text instead of a file and still have it write to a seperate file internally? So I don't need to create intermediary files
<oprypin>
probably
<Groogy>
trying to figure out how though :/ don't see anything blatantly obvious
<oprypin>
i dont quite see what you mean
<oprypin>
from a string in memory, create a slice , gzip compressed?
<oprypin>
you just work with IO::Memory
<oprypin>
on both ends
<Groogy>
yeah but how do I make "this piece go to this file in the archive and this other piece to another file in the archive
<Groogy>
or maybe it doesn't support that
<oprypin>
Groogy, gzip compresses a stream, it's not an archive with fileS
<Groogy>
bah
<Groogy>
yeah forgot it's tarballs that are archives
<Groogy>
not .gz
<Groogy>
ah duh should have just looked further down, there's a zip module
<heaven31415>
Is there a website like pastebin which support Crystal?
<Groogy>
the second argument takes an object to place in each slot
<Groogy>
so since you provide it with an object it will take the reference and put it in each
<Groogy>
ary = Array.new(3) { Array.new }
<Groogy>
that will make each entry be unique
<heaven31415>
ohh, that makes sense now
<FromGitter>
<bararchy> @faustinoaq All in all, as long as you are working remote, or, working freelance it doesn't really matter what lang you use, except when client asks for a specific one, which I never see happening
<heaven31415>
thank you, once again Groogy :P

i hate windows so much
<RX14>
i'm having to stuff like 3 structs inside File::Info
<Groogy>
hmm how do I write a string to IO#write_bytes?
<Groogy>
or well kinda unnessecary probably
<FromGitter>
<bararchy> string.to_slice will produce Bytes of the string
<jhass>
but that's just the same as just doing io << string
<Groogy>
yeah probably fine though
<Groogy>
need to setup some kind of delimiter in the binary though
<jhass>
you can totally intermix all IO methods
<jhass>
they're all just wrappers around #read(Bytes) or #write(Bytes) respectively
<Groogy>
yeah but I mean for the strings
<RX14>
Groogy, what are you trying to do?
<jhass>
the two typical methods are to either write the length first or a null byte after
<Groogy>
no just serializing the game state
<Groogy>
and the map data is a bit too big to have in yaml
<RX14>
and length is better
<Groogy>
the strings are just "this key on this index" map for when new terrains are added so it doesn't matter and won't break the serialization when things get changed
<RX14>
strings are way better for speed
<RX14>
since you know the correct size of memory to allocate for the string before you read it
<RX14>
with null terminator you need a resizing buffer

<faustinoaq> > we have three main frameworks ⏎ ⏎ 1) Kemal: micro-framework simple and very useful to create APIs and apps in an unopinionated way http://kemalcr.com/ ⏎ 2) Amber: is a full framework with a great CLI, creating a blog very easy `amber new blog` https://amberframework.org/ ⏎ 3) Lucky: is a new framework concept, coding all with crystal, both front-end and back-end: https://luckyframework.org/ ...
<heaven31415>
how can I write front-end with crystal?
<heaven31415>
my code is translated to html/css/js?
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> hightower2, Yeah that's a good introduction, I think Amber would be pretty familiar to rails developers, the documentation needs to be improved, though
<FromGitter>
<nsrtky> what about webassembly ? will crystall support wasm ?
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> heaven31415, Oh, there is Mint Lang (https://www.mint-lang.com/) as well, is a nice language written in crystal, that aims to be front-end oriented, so would be easy to create fast and reliable SPA and Progressive Web Apps ()https://www.mint-lang.com/roadmap
<heaven31415>
thank you, I think I will try amber first, it looks more mature than other frameworks
<Yxhvd>
nsrtky: generally speaking, currently languages that use a GC is not viable in wasm. Eventually I expect that to get solved, but don't hold your breath.
<That_Guy_Anon>
well if crystal gets enough steam behind it and actually starts getting used in the web wouldn't browsers probably support it without wasm inbetween? (me no idea abotu anything webdev)
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> Yxhvd, Oh... the GC..I forgot it, well I guess you're right :)
<Yxhvd>
That_Guy_Anon: no. Java tried that. It failed.
<Yxhvd>
and java is a lot better suited for that
<That_Guy_Anon>
interesting, is there a good read on why it failed?
<That_Guy_Anon>
as i said, i am not really into webdevelopment, so i have no idea about the ecosystem or however you want to call it
<jhass>
I guess because it was a plugin, so painful to install. Then because the JVM takes forever to boot and finally since it was quite the security nightmare too
<jhass>
since it operated besides the browser sandbox, while webasm operates within
Jens_ has joined #crystal-lang
<jhass>
also there's really no reason to sidestep webasm, it's built for exactly this
<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> heaven31415, Oh, nice, if you gonna try amber first, try `amber new blog --database sqlite --deps` so you will be able to use it locally. If you have some error, please check amber's gitter room (https://gitter.im/amberframework/amber) most errors are because a missing dependency like openssl, git, sqlite and others. see: https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/5291

yeah i have seen it but not quite what i need

i found something on the stdlib tho

<FromGitter>
<faustinoaq> @nsrtky Almost all these projects are open-source, and are published on github, windows support isn't available yet, because is a big work in progress. ⏎ ⏎ I think is unfair to comparing us with Mono, is a pretty different technology, also Microsoft is a big company they have been improving their technologies over decades in contrast Crystal community is very young but with a great language and nice
