They cover the tradeoffs of object oriented vs functional programming; creating and debugging macros; detecting nulls; building a web framework with strict compile time guarantees; conversational elm-like error messages; the benefits of fast rendering times; writing templates with crystal instead of HTML; choosing what to include in a web framework; and crystal’s ecosystem and community.
