torrentinim VS crystal

Check out my project Torrentinim for a popular but simple enough project if you want to taste what Nim is like.

It's easy to understand code.

Would love to try this. You should provide compiled assets for all major platforms. I don't know how to run this on a Windows machine.

Here's an example how I do it for my project: https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim/blob/master/.gith...

And the releases: https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim/releases

That appears to be a work in progress: https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim/issues/2

Nice. If someone is looking for something less resource hungry, have a look at Torrentinim. It is the successor of Magnetissimo.

Nim's elevator pitch is looks like Python so it's easy to read/write, compiles down to C and then to native binaries, and runs so fast it'll make your head explode.

Here's a project I wrote in Nim that even if you've never even seen Nim before you would understand what's going on. https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim

27. Crystal - $77,104

I like the first code example on https://crystal-lang.org

    # A very basic HTTP server

Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago.

If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly ruby-like in syntax, style, and developer ergonomics.[^2] Although it's an entirely different language. Also a tiny community.

Crystal is a nice language that's not only simple to read and write but performs very well too. And the documentation is amazing as well.

Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything.

My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting.

I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really interesting and am hoping it has its own "ruby on rails" moment that helps the language reach a tipping point in popularity. All the beauty of ruby with all of the speed of Go (and then some, it often compares favorably to languages like rust in benchmarks).
