02:16 <FromGitter> <Sija> hi! any1 can tell me if this - https://carc.in/#/r/1m1v - is just me or it suppose to work?

04:00 <FromGitter> <stevensonmt> Total newb here, sorry for dumb question. When creating custom class, how do I define the initialize method such that I don't have to call `self.method` for any subsequent method definitions for that class?

10:27 <RX14> oh wow, this would look amazing on the new crystal-lang website: https://codepen.io/maxpowa/full/YNjrQB/

12:52 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> yo everyone sup

12:52 <FromGitter> <taylorfinnell> Hello! What am I doing wrong here? https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/1m2i I want a hash that can have nil or string values. Is this possible?

12:54 <RX14> yes

12:55 <RX14> you need to specify the hash has string or nil values

12:55 <RX14> that hash literal only has string values

12:55 <RX14> appending ` of String => String?` to the literal should work

12:55 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> @taylorfinnell https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/1m2k

12:56 <FromGitter> <taylorfinnell> thank you!

14:20 <bmcginty> As the stuff I'm working on right now isn't exactly ground breaking in usefulness, are there any libraries or systems or whatnot that you guys could use a crystal interface for?

14:23 <Yxhuvud> Dunno. What is your background? What are you good at?

14:24 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> WTB Windows support help on https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/pull/3582 :smile:

14:27 <bmcginty> Yxhuvud: Mostly scraping applications recently, pulling from sites and adding to postgresql. Done a fare bit of openssl interfacing in python and a ton of web scraping.

14:28 <bmcginty> sdogruyol: if I can get going with it, I will. not my background, but nothing wrong with a challenge. thanks.

14:30 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> @bmcginty have you scraped in Crystal?

14:52 <bmcginty> sdogruyol: Thanks. You just reminded me I've got a half-completed http interface thingy and a couple other things to hand.

14:54 <FromGitter> <sdogruyol> @bmcginty thank you too :)

23:26 <FromGitter> <raydf> Hello everyone, if anyone has experience with the http::client, how can i wait to read all the info from the response in a block statement? with .gets_to_end?
