Static Checks
RUBY def string_size(str)! puts str.length! end! ! string_size("This is a
string")! string_size(nil) 16 `string_size': undefined method `length' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
CRYSTAL def string_size(str)! puts str.length! end! ! string_size("This is a
string")! string_size(nil) instantiating 'string_size(Nil)' undefined method 'length' for Nil
Special getters
CRYSTAL class Email! getter! :subject, :date, :from! ! ...! end!
! email = Email.new("Homework this week", { date: nil, from: "Ferdous" }),! ! p email.date? # nil
CRYSTAL class Email! getter! :subject, :date, :from! ! ...! end!
! email = Email.new("Homework this week", { date: nil, from: "Ferdous" }),! ! p email.date
CRYSTAL class Email! getter! :subject, :date, :from! ! ...! end!
! email = Email.new("Homework this week", { date: nil, from: "Ferdous" }),! ! p email.date Nil assertion failed
CRYSTAL class Email! getter? :subject, :date, :from! ! ...! end!

! email = Email.new("Homework this week", { date: nil, from: "Ferdous" }),! ! p email.date undefined method 'date' for Email (did you mean 'date?'?)
Macros
RUBY class BasicObject! def self.attr_reader(*names)! names.map(&:to_s).each do |name|! class_eval "!
def #{name}! @#{name}! end! "! end! end! end
CRYSTAL class Object! macro getter(*names)! {% for name in names
%}! {% name = name.var if name.is_a?(DeclareVar) %}! ! def {{name.id}}! @{{name.id}}! end! {% end %}! end! end
C bindings
RUBY Not very simple to connect ! Need to write
C ! Need to know Ruby’s C implementation (struct, methods, etc…)
CRYSTAL lib C! fun atoi(str : UInt8*) : Int32! end!
! p C.atoi(“28").class # Int32
CRYSTAL @[Link("readline")]! lib LibReadline! fun readline(prompt : UInt8*) : Pointer(UInt8)!
end! ! line = LibReadline.readline("What's your name?\n")! p String.new(line) # What’s your name?! # zamith! # ”zamith"
Generics
RUBY class Foo! attr_reader :value! ! def initialize(value)! @value =
value! end! end! ! foo = Foo.new(1)! p foo.value.abs # 1! ! foo = Foo.new('a')! p foo.value.ord # 97
CRYSTAL class Foo! getter :value! ! def initialize(@value); end! end!
! foo = Foo.new(1)! p foo.value.abs # 1! ! foo = Foo.new(‘a’)! p foo.value.ord # undefined method 'abs' for Char
CRYSTAL class Foo(T)! getter :value! ! def initialize(@value : T);
end! end! ! foo = Foo.new(1)! p foo.value.abs # 1! ! foo = Foo.new('a')! p foo.value.ord # 97
CRYSTAL class Array(T)! include Enumerable! include Comparable(Array)! ! def initialize(size,
value : T)! ! ! . . .! end! end arr = [1, 2]! arr.first.abs! ! arr = [1, '2']! arr.first.abs # error!
Specs
CRYSTAL require "spec"! ! class MyString! def initialize(@string); end! !
def size! @string.size! end! end! ! describe "Repo" do! describe "size" do! it "returns the size of my string" do! MyString.new("Hello").size.should eq 5! end! end! end
Notable Misses
CRYSTAL Single quoted strings ! require_relative ! keyword arguments !
send method_missing ! define_method ! eval
Interesting Things
CRYSTAL RUBY [1,2].map &.to_s.+(“ hello”) [1,2].map do |num| ! !
num.to_s.+(" hello”)! end # [“1 hello", "2 hello"] # [“1 hello", "2 hello"]
CRYSTAL class Hash(K, V)! ...! def self.new(comp = StandardComparator, &block
: (Hash(K, V), K -> V))! new block, comp! end! ! def self.new(default_value : V, comp = StandardComparator)! new(comp) { default_value }! end! ! def self.new(comparator)! new nil, comparator! end! ...! end
CRYSTAL class Hash(K, V)! ...! def self.new(default_value = nil :
V, comp = StandardComparator)! new(comp) { default_value }! end! ...! end
CRYSTAL class Hash(K, V)! ...! def self.new(default_value = nil :
V?, comp = StandardComparator)! new(comp) { default_value }! end! ...! end
