Hi HN! I'm the speaker in this talk. Just a heads up that when I refer to "The Failing Hacker News", that's just all part of the satire. It's all love here!

  Well, we'd believe you if you said "Nobody has more respect for Hacker News than me. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it!"

      Hacker News is a disaster. It's rigged - you can't even mention Javascript without 10 people - nasty people - saying how everyone who uses JS is deplorable. It's the worst website in history.

        Using JS on the backend is deplorable. For front-end work I don't think there is currently much other choice...

  I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Crystal... It seems like it takes the hits of Ruby and marries them with the LLVM, to make a really awesome, performant language without sacrificing developer happiness. (which is also a tagline of Elixir) Not asking you to start a flamewar, just genuinely curious about your thoughts on Crystal and if you've played with it.
