02:02 <FromGitter> <naqvis> 😃 no worries

13:09 <FromGitter> <djberg96> Hey, where's Crystal? https://thenewstack.io/which-programming-languages-use-the-least-electricity/

13:20 <FromGitter> <naqvis> looking at the date of that article and date they ran the investigation benchmarks, Crystal might only be just known to manas tech :shrug:

13:59 <FromGitter> <moe:busyloop.net> also that looks like the silliest metric ever...

14:15 <FromGitter> <moe:busyloop.net> we're looking good here tho: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21&test=composite ⏎ ⏎ right in the middle (#48). sweet spot between enough performance to never worry ⏎ and enough convenience to actually enjoy work. ⏎ ...

16:58 <Ober> so is it true cystal is written in crystal?

17:01 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> yes

17:02 <SamantazFox> Ober: lime many languages, the compiler is written in said language ^^

17:03 <SamantazFox> C/C++ compilers are written in C/C++, rustc is written in rust, the haskell compiler is written in haskell, and the crystal compiler is written in crystal

17:20 <Ober> java is written in c++, ruby in c, etc.

17:32 <SamantazFox> those aren't compiled languages ^^

19:23 <riza> some of the Java JVMs are written in C++, and some of them are written in Java

22:48 <FromGitter> <jrei:matrix.org> for python, there are compilers written in python

23:05 <FromGitter> <riffraff169> the mark of a true language (ha) is when the language gets powerful enough that the compiler can be rewritten in itself

23:05 <FromGitter> <riffraff169> usually it starts out in c until it gets to the point it can be bootstrapped

23:06 <FromGitter> <riffraff169> just out of curiosity, i wonder when that point was? what version(s) did it switch from c to crystal? (assuming it started out in c)

23:07 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> crystal was originally Ruby

23:28 <FromGitter> <wwalker> I'm trying to build for amazon linux 2 on aarch64. I tried to cross compile: ⏎ ⏎ ```code paste, see link``` ⏎ ⏎ My searches lead me to believe I can't compile on aarch64 at all. ... [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=637eac88abfb5860bb2d30ca]

23:29 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> did you run the commands outputted via the cross complication? afaik it should emit some files and a command to run on the aarch system

23:29 <FromGitter> <wwalker> ah! No. (stupid newbie's should apy attention to the docs...)

23:32 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> 👍

23:33 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> that would do it
