16:13 <mps> I have problem with string grow in loop, using this `str += second_str` is very slow for big number of iterations

16:14 <mps> is there a better way to do this?

16:22 <mps> maybe IO::Memory is solution

16:28 <mps> yes

16:28 <mps> yes

17:39 <riza> mps: if you can, check out string.build -- it's built for that sort of thing

17:40 <mps> riza: I did, but it doesn't fit well in part of code I'm using in this case

18:26 <riza> yeah, I get that. The block notation kind of wants a specific way of formatting yoru code

18:27 <riza> you can do a string builder without the block notation, and then pass the builder around a bit, too...but it's obviously not what was intended by the designer

18:47 <mps> riza: tbh I still learning crystal and because this I'm trying to avoid 'smart' tricks and concentrate on coding style which fits to my previous programming experience

18:50 <mps> riza: I solved today problem with IO::Memory and I learned about it. So, it was good day and crystal saved me of big headache for one task on my $day_job

18:53 <riza> awesome!

18:54 <riza> I love hearing about folks using crystal professionally -- I cannot for the life of me find any work that's interested in crystal

18:56 <mps> yes, no big and famous company behind crystal to promote or even force it

22:02 <riza> mps: here's a place where I used String::Builder without the block invocation, in case you're interested: https://github.com/mosquito-cr/mosquito/pull/108/files#diff-9999fa71f67ebeb4ef162ddf3004616fc18c2ba853666c8f5c5166fc965f86d8R46
