<rishavs> @asterite, weren't you the original creator of Crystal?

<asterite> I still am :-D
<FromGitter>
<rishavs> hope I am not stepping one anyone's toes, but how come you didn't become a BDFL for crystal? I am genuinely curious. ⏎ Most of the smaller languages (without corp backing at least) are pretty much directed by a person. Crystal is very different in this respect

I'm using myhtml library for parsing a page. Now I think code is just spitted all over one file. It starts with response = HTTP::Client.get rc_url URLS.first; parser = MyHtml::Parser.new(response.body); blog_title = "#{parsesr.css(".gdlr-blog-title").map(&.inner_text).to_a.string}"; title = ...; blala = aa...... so now clases or anything no methods. How can I make my code less suck with parsing a web

page? Since result of that parsing will be used to build a json string. Any ideas for a beginner?

<asterite> @rishavs because I knew I wouldn't be able to do it all by myself, and others (especially Juan and Brian) look at things with a different perspective than I do. Then, when I conceived Crystal I was working at Manas so I could spend some of that time to work on Crystal. Since I then moved from Manas I don't have that much time anymore. I work in a different place, I have a kid, and in less than a month I'll

... have two. I still give input and others respect my opinion... but being BDFL might not be that good after all. I don't think Matz is the one who takes all of the decisions or approvals. Also Guido from Python eventually went out of that position. Finally, I think it's better for Manas to own the language because Manas is an e ...

<wyhaines> Re Ruby, Matz is still ultimately the one who makes all decisions and approvals over what goes into the language. Others do the implementations, make their cases for or against something, etc.... but Matz is still the ultimate arbitrator over what does or does not become part of the language.
<FromGitter>
<wyhaines> Though that is less true for language versions other than the head. Each of the maintainers for a particular version branch have autonomy to do what they feel is best for that branch.
<FromGitter>
<wyhaines> Usually that autonomy mostly boils down to decisions about what to backport from later versions, and what bugs to continue fixing, but they don't have anyone really dictating those things to them.

<shortly-portly> Hi All. I'm new to Crystal but loving it. I'm starting to look at different codebases and keep coming across "macro included". Does this mean if this module is "required" then run this macro? cheers.
<FromGitter>
<incognitorobito> What does the new keyword do here?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> calls the `initialize` method for that type
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> same as like `Error.new ...`
<FromGitter>
<incognitorobito> Oh, it's like super but for the constructor of it's parent class?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> not quite? only works because there is an `initialize` method defined that takes those arguments
<FromGitter>
<incognitorobito> Ohhhh
<FromGitter>
<incognitorobito> I see, ty
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> usually used in conjunction with `def self.new` overloads that either call other `self.new` overloads, or ultimately one of the `def initialize` methods
