hey. I’m Ivan, but you can call me ‘Ooze’. 11 years systems engineering. 4 years software dev. before that, distributed free lean to kids. got absolutely folded by the Power Rangers mid-operation and had to reassess my life goals. no regrets. they barely won. looking forward to learning the language and hopefully contributing something to the community!
First of all, a very warm welcome! With your great sense of humor, I’m sure your contributions will bring an extra touch of laughter and nostalgia to our community!
Edit:
Despite the defeat in your epic fight against the Power Rangers, choosing Crystal as your new goal in life to become a better programmer is a really smart move, if you ask me!
Crystal definitely won’t be a language that fights back against you! 
So with it, you will surely win
