Title
Description
A Rubyist Takes a Look at Crystal by David Bock Ruby syntax? Compiled? With strong typing? 2x4 times the performance? As an educator, I teach a lot of cool algorithmic stuff. As a rubyist, I want the syntax I know and love. As a computer scientist, this creates a tension over algorithmic performance. So I took a look at crystal and liked what I saw. Will you? David Bock turned to programming Ruby full time in 2006, after an upstanding career using Java in the Federal Contracting space, and he has never looked back. He is now corrupting the minds of our youth by posing at a "Teacher’s Assistant" for a java-based high school curriculum, only to expose teenagers to Ruby and tempt them with the Dark Side of the Force. Dave is also the director of the Loudoun Computer Science Initiative.
