Typesafe SQL, typesafe template (or just useful template, not the ones in the stdlib which sucks tremendously), model metaprogramming, etc...

Google Cloud revenue is only up 30% YoY, which seems really low considering the marketing and the focus on it (and the growth of the competitors).

Yes, and the fanciness part is done by another crate actually: https://github.com/zesterer/ariadne .

It's not specifically on OCaml.

Going from Nim to C is clearly lowering the language. The general agreed definition of a compiler is going from a certain level to a lower level.

The added typing on the stdlib can break stuff, but it's really minor and in most cases it makes visible a potential bug in your program.

TIL another project started by Fabrice Bellard (well for him it's just a side project for the real project JSLinux).

I like Crystal for this, the standard library has support for the most common stuff (HTTP server, JSON/XML parsing, logging, templating), installing additional packages is easy and the build step also. Nice bonus: the resulting app i

It's true if you don't have any other files such as HTML templates or CSS or whatever; which is fairly rare (don't even get my started on stuff like Packer which embed binary content inside the binary executable...). Nowadays

I use AWS Cloudfront on top of my static blog to get basic analytics (and some edge caching). It is almost free.

Can you elaborate ?

"Slow" can be subjective indeed, but not "slower".

Thanks for the nitpick, I should have been more precise and write move value from memory to abstract register otherwise it is indeed confusing. I will fix the article and mention your comment.

I don't think I've ever heard that. Ocaml performance is surprisingly very predictable.

It doesn't scale well to triple dispatch, quadruple dispatch...

I'm not a native speaker, but shouldn't it be "33% increased performance" or "133% performance" instead ?

You mean parallelism ? JS has good concurrency support (event, async..)

Maybe get out of your place sometimes?

You also need to handle the event loop yourself ; otherwise you end up using a language which is sub-Crystal.

I have no idea how you ended up with this completely wrong statement. Rust is closer to C++ replacement, and Crystal and Go are something else (GCed to begin with).

by maattdd 6y ago
It's possible, just not officially supported nor straightforward. You need to run the GC yourself and all this kind of stuff. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32916684/can-a-crystal-l... https:/&#x2F

Unfortunately no, it need some runtime (libevent, boehm gc) which is hard (impossible?) to integrate inside a shared lib.

Crystal is one of my most productive language for small project web oriented (Slack bot): a cleanup Ruby with added benefits (performance, type safety, null safety, proper concurrency). My only complaints: * compilation speed * type

Crystal doesn't use significant whitespace (like Ruby).
