Crystal is a Surprise

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0200

I blogged about Dart a few weeks ago, and I said it was refreshingly boring. I am probably late to the party, but I discovered Crystal recently, and it is not only boring but also surprising in many delicious ways.

Cocoa is the new Carbon: the Future of Apple’s Beloved Framework

Thu, 26 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0100

I find many similarities between an event like WWDC and a similar one I’ve attended at Redmond long ago; both are big (huge!) events, with thousands of (men) engineers from around the world (and very few women), with a keynote by the founder, lots of events every morning and afternoon, and merchandasing stuff all over the way. And of course, in both cases you get food boxes for lunch.
