<stellarpower> Is there any documentation on select? The code I have pasted in doesn't work, the guide I was following seemed to be using it like a case statement
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> That's what I was following.
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> It isn't happy with my brace alignment etc. Unexpected keyword case, unexpected end
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> got an example?
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Has it been updated since then?
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Not easily, as it's in an existing body of code.
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> select hasnt changed then
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> it works *like* `case` but its not
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> well i guess you can think of it like `case` but on channels
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Oh wait so `when` doesn't need a corresponding end?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> no
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Thanks! Looks like that's done it.

<PricelessRabbit> i'm also using select and found difficult to get a decent documentation (the ilbarasti post and go background saved my life). are you accepting PR's to update crystal doc and document the select statement (for example it is not clear if it works also with channel send, to send in non-blocking way like go)

added require gzip to my simple app, but can't seem to figure out how to install it. `shards install gzip` is a noop. can't find a version on shards.info to include in the shard.yml.
<FromGitter>
<ober> What is the missing step here? ^^
<FromGitter>
<ober> guessing distro specific package. removing and building from source.
<FromGitter>
<ober> user error. Compress::Gzip and require 'compress/gzip'
