An Introduction to Crystal

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Nim

    Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).

  • Invidious

    Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

  • Not to mention memory intensiveness. Compiling a medium sized project (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious) on a DigitalOcean $5/mo droplet will throw an out-of-memory error unless I give it a few gigs of swap space

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • azula

    A fast, statically typed compiled language (by azula-lang)

  • It‘s not the Hello World that takes 8s to compile, it‘s the author‘s project Azula (https://github.com/azula-lang/azula)

  • packages

    List of packages for Nimble (by nim-lang)

  • Do you have any specific libraries that you are missing? The packages list [1] has almost 1600 packages.

  • nim-neo4j

    A Nim driver for the Neo4j graph database.

  • Not sure how well it works (and I have no setup to test), but there is this [1]. I know there are a few different protobuf impls floating around. Not sure how much google pubsub needs beyond that. It's probably not so far away. Maybe you can be the one to do the pubsub wrapper. :-) (I'm only trying to encourage, not enlist/conscript.)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
