01:44 <FromGitter> <Dan-Do> @Guest12 you can try Mint

03:59 <FromGitter> <HertzDevil> libpcre reached end-of-life

05:09 <FromGitter> <naqvis> log back ago, I commented to migrate to pcre2, but ... ⏎ https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/8199#issuecomment-533171075

13:15 <FromGitter> <alex-kampa> ```(Hash(String, Hash(String, String) | String) | Nil)``` ⏎ ⏎ which measn that h.keys throws an error. How can I force h to be a hash? [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=60d48559b60c3137c38d1bc0]

13:15 <FromGitter> <alex-kampa> ie never Nil

13:16 <FromGitter> <alex-kampa> Is using is_a? the only way?

13:34 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> where is the `nil` coming from?

14:21 <FromGitter> <alex-kampa> So I simply added this to convince the compiler: ⏎ ⏎ ```h = h.nil? ? Hash(String, String | Hash(String, String)).new : h``` ⏎ ⏎ I would guess the nil is because the assignment is inside a begin rescue end [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=60d494e165513b4d912c9448]

14:31 <FromGitter> <Daniel-Worrall> Yes, you need to compile time check nil. ⏎ You can do `h ? not_nil_here : nil_here`

14:31 <FromGitter> <Daniel-Worrall> which is shorthand for `if h` etc.

14:32 <FromGitter> <Daniel-Worrall> This works since it is truthy when not nil

14:33 <FromGitter> <Daniel-Worrall> I'm unsure how this works with compile type of `Bool | Nil`, but I guess it would be true only in the first branch and false | nil in the second

14:37 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> what do you have in the `rescue` portion tho?

14:38 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> sounds like you're just not handling the case where an exception is raised

15:02 <FromGitter> <naqvis> @alex-kampa For your specified use-case, i would suggest to go with `JSON::Serializable` and create a general class, which consumes any json string and returns Hash representation. ⏎ https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/bf2a

15:05 <FromGitter> <Daniel-Worrall> While recommendations are appreciated, the nilable hash and original has nothing to do with that. fyi

17:19 <FromGitter> <watzon> You know how in Crystal you can use a generic like `T` and then use `T.class` to say that you want the class rather than an instance of that class? Any idea how to accomplish the same in Typescript?

17:47 <FromGitter> <szabgab> I have been lurking here for a while, but I guess I should say hi, before I start asking questions. I have been learning Crystal in the last couple of weeks. I started to create a web site collecting data about shards, but then straight-shoota pointed at his shardbox an already existing (and much better looking) system. We then had a live coding session in which he explained about the shardbox and then we even

17:47 <FromGitter> ... created a small change. Anyway, I keep learning Crystal and I guess I'll ask some questions here. I hope it is ok even though they will be probably very basic.

17:48 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> o/

18:46 <FromGitter> <watzon> Welcome @szabgab

18:51 <FromGitter> <ondreian> is everyone just using `minimal` Travis image these days since the `language: crystal` doesn't work?

18:52 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> pretty no one is using travis anymore and just switched to GH Actions

18:56 <jhass> or whatever else, just stopped using travis. They got bought out and basically none of the original open source folks is there anymore

18:56 <FromGitter> <ondreian> I see. `crystal init` still generates a `.travis.yml` file

18:57 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> it wont starting next release

18:58 <FromGitter> <ondreian> cool deal, it had been awhile since I needed to `init` a new project but was kind of 🌽 fused about what was going on. Thanks.

19:29 <FromGitter> <szabgab> @ondreian , there is this nice form that helps generating a minimal config file for GitHub Actions: https://crystal-lang.github.io/install-crystal/configurator.html

19:55 <straight-shoota> Great to have you here, szabgab =)
