Practical Crystal through API Client library building

RSpec Crystal (programming language)
  1. 1
    RSpec is a testing tool for the Ruby programming language born under the banner of Behavior-Driven Development featuring a rich command line program, textual descriptions of examples, and more.

    Crystal provides a built-in test runner and a fully-featured spec library, inspired by Rspec. I tried out the built-in spec library, and it worked pretty well, but found myself reaching for more of what I was used to from the actual Rspec gem. This led me to discover the Spectator shard, which provided most of the Rspec helpers I was used to and made me feel much more productive. I definitely recommend it!

  2. Programming language with Ruby-like syntax that compiles to efficient native code.

    • Open Source
    This is somewhat dated now, but when I first started at Method (Skookum at the time), I attended a virtual conference for the Crystal programming language. Afterwards, I presented to Method a quick introduction of the language and some key points from the conference. One of my points was to try Crystal out by converting a Ruby project. My reasoning was because the two languages are so similar, it would be easier to reuse what's already be done and just adopt the missing parts. This post is the result of that reasoning...
