There was quite some development with the #CrystalLang @ProjectJupyter integration. You can install @CrystalLanguage Shards, render images, have better error reporting etc. As we can hear in Brian's talk at #CrystalConf.

Wow, @Morantron showed at #CrystalConf what a rewrite of his favourite Ruby rolling into @CrystalLanguage can mean performance wise. 🤯 Sometimes results in #CrystalLang are even more performant than expected.

Alexander from @BrightAppSec opened today discussing highs, lows, and a wishlist 🧞‍♂️for Crystal. He shared that it’s hard to find Crystal engineers to hire, but it’s easy to find engineers who can pick up Crystal quickly coming from Ruby, C, Go ;) #CrystalConf #CrystalLang
