    The Crystal Programming Language

  • crystal-docker-quickstart

    A project template for quickly working with the Crystal programming language in a Docker container, no installation needed.

    This is great Serdar.

    As an alternative to Chapter 2 I’ll also share https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart my project template which lets you get a Crystal (currently 1.6.2) dev environment running with just Docker. Good for kicking the tires, which is what I think your audience is probably wanting to do! And then eventually can install a binary package as you suggest.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

    With advent of code coming up I'm torn between Kotlin and maybe Crystal.
