<redcodefinal> @BlaXpirit Actually I like crystal play it's just I miss IRB sometimes. Besides I've had a couple times where `crystal play` refused to give me an error or exception when running code. I've also had a weird issue with it freezing up my entire computer for 40+ seconds but it happens rarely so it's not that big of a deal. Is there any tool that supports breakpoints? This is why I kind of have some hope for icr b
<FromGitter>
... hoping we can get some pry-like commands in there.
<cerulean>
we can improve crystal play and should. and debugging
<FromGitter>
<redcodefinal> @cerulean Yeah I've been thinking of some feature requests I'd like to make, I think the easiest one would be to add a custom command line args field to the options. It only came to mind because I was testing speed with`benchmark` and it gave me this one `Warning: benchmarking without the '--release' flag won't yield useful results`.
<FromGitter>
<redcodefinal> Although I'm pretty sure this would have to turn off the pretty data output sidebar on the right.
<FromGitter>
<yxhuvud> Hmm. Indexing an array with variable index and content sizes (depending on size of array the entries refer to). I guess that will end up needing to bring out raw Pointers to solve..

<bew> ahah what are you porting? @yxhuvud
<FromGitter>
<redcodefinal> The transition begins ;D
<FromGitter>
<sdogruyol> this is really handy
<FromGitter>
<sdogruyol> my entire reporting infra could benefit from this :P

<redcodefinal> Hey does anyone know what the word is on future ARM support? I'd love to switch a project of mine over to Kemal but I'm using GPIO on RPi3.
<FromGitter>
<sdogruyol> i've heard that people compiling crystal on rpi3
<FromGitter>
<sdogruyol> better ask @ysbaddaden
<RX14>
sentry looks pretty efficient not using inotify
<RX14>
i have bindings, I should make a generic file watcher shard
<RX14>
not sured how it works on osx though
<FromGitter>
<redcodefinal> If so I'll write the C bindings for http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/ (bcm2835) there's already a pretty straightforward ruby library that uses it.

<bew> @redcodefinal oh yeah that would be awesome!
<FromGitter>
<stereosteve> @RX14 if you're okay using a non-crystal watcher project, I've had good experiences with: ⏎ https://github.com/cortesi/modd
<RX14>
i use entr myself
<RX14>
so i'm good
<FromGitter>
<stereosteve> ohh didn't know about that... will check out

<jwoertink> Thanks @sdogruyol :D
<FromGitter>
<drosehn> yeah, `entr` is a nice general tool.
<FromGitter>
<jwoertink> @stereosteve 1.21 GW!?!!!?? ONE POINT TWENTY ONE GIGAWATTS!??
<FromGitter>
<jwoertink> but when I tried it a while back, it didn't work
<FromGitter>
<elorest> also it seems like sentry is becoming the standard replacement for guard but I’ve used this before with pretty good success. https://github.com/f/guardian
<FromGitter>
<elorest> I suppose you could always just call CLI SassC to compile sass.
<FromGitter>
<elorest> They it gets rid of the ruby dependency.
<FromGitter>
<elorest> Does anyone know of a capistrano like alternative?

<eliasjpr> Best way to encode and decode strings in crystal?
<FromGitter>
<carsonbaker> Encode/decode as what?
<FromGitter>
<eliasjpr> Utf 8
<FromGitter>
<elorest> @fridgerator yeah that’s what i currently do and it’s fine. I was just thinking that not having to install ruby to develop would be cool. Although to be fair I will probably always have ruby installed...
<FromGitter>
<carsonbaker> Elias, can you give more context to what you're trying to do?
