Oh wow, according to @codetrendr (account should start mirroring soon) #LavinMQ was 🚀 trending on #GitHub two weeks ago? 🤩

For those who don't know: it's a #MessageQueue written in :crystal: #CrystalLang supporting #AMQP 0-9-1 (like 🐰 #RabbitMQ) and #MQTT (popular in 🤖 #IoT).

And it was born at @84codes / #84codes. 🙏🏻

The Inertia.js + @CrystalLanguage work is coming along! Check out my latest video showing the prototype in action. Started with a simple 'Fruit Jokes' app rather than PingCRM. Still very experimental but promising!

Currently working on a Inertia.js server-side implementation for @CrystalLanguage with no framework dependencies. Lot of rough edges and features to implement, but looks promising! 😊

At work, Tom Patterer and I built a working #Erlang/#ElixirLang C Node in #CrystalLang. This is pretty great. Blog post to come in the next few weeks.

Following Aaron Francis (try hard approach), decided to simplify my @CrystalLanguage and Vite.js integration: no CORS fights, no crossdomain, no endless config, and just a single port exposed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek6VSCUYAIE

@ruralocity there are also a bunch of ports of VCR in #CrystalLang.
One isn't called 📼 VCR but hi8 😉😂

in reference to this:

So I guess age shows in different facets 😉😂

Nice read! @mamantoha published a short and nice ✍️ blog post about 🚥 #semaphores in :crystal: @CrystalLanguage at @thepracticaldev:

New blog post: Small Update on Benben v0.7.0 https://remilia.sdf.org/blog/2025-03-14-a.html

The Weekly Challenge 311: Lower the Sum #Perl #RakuLang #RustLang #Postscript #CrystalLang #PerlWeeklyChallenge #BlogFiredrakeOrg https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2025/03/The_Weekly_Challenge_311__Lower_the_Sum.html

OK, I've traced it back, and 1.15.0 is what breaks Benben when both of these conditions are true: CRYSTAL_WORKERS is 4 or less, and the remote control feature is active. When these are true, then Benben will stutter really badly, to the point that it's not listenable at all.

Open ticket, with workaround information:
https://chiselapp.com/user/MistressRemilia/repository/benben/tktview/17ae9a7fab6de3f711c7ea3e40a87d0c4e6dd35e

Normally Benben modifies CRYSTAL_WORKERS in fun main before the Crystal runtime is initialized, so this doesn't matter. But apparently the Crystal devs changed the way the runtime works and so workaround doesn't work anymore.

#benben #LinuxAudio #CrystalLang

Well shit, it appears the newer #CrystalLang versions (at least 1.15.0) break Benben in some cases.
