We are delivering a new Crystal release with several bugfixes and improvements.

I learned about Crystal from somebody’s Lemmy comment a couple weeks ago. Amazing and under rated language.

Their announcement is pretty lackluster tho lol.

    I wouldn’t dismiss VM languages outright. I’m also not a fan of the Java VM but the two VMs are very much very different. Also Erlang (and it’s VM) were built for telecommunication, and the problems they tried to solve 30 years ago with it are very similar to modern backend engineering problems.

    Erlang is in large parts also what allowed WhatsApp to scale to it’s userbase with only 30 engineers.
