I want to combine 2 things that I love more than anything. Crystal AI Not necessarily in that order. I vibe code with Crystal all the time, it’s been perfect because of the type system, but the syntax is clean and makes it easy for Claude to mimic the patterns within the files easily. The rate o…

The Exception Handling (EH) part is interesting. It outlines a limitation in Crystal: while we can declare a global function symbol with fun name (where name isn’t mangled), we can only reference an external symbol with $name in a lib definition, we can’t declare one (AFAIK). Maybe we can though in…

I’ll see if I can take your feedback and provide it to another Claude session next week.

@jwoertink From the description of the linked PR, this boils down to: $ crystal build -Drelease -O3 Compilation time will improve… but runtime performance will plummet drastically because Crystal is tailored for --single-module: nothing’s inlined anymore save for the few very low level intrinsics.…

I’ll pass your feedback on to the agent to explore and research further. Currently, what I’ve been mostly focusing on is polishing some of the other tooling that I specifically need for my immediate projects. However, I’m still pushing the boundary here of this. compiler because I want to be able t…
