Where is compiler path? about vscode-crystal-lang HOT 5 CLOSED

I think that I missed this part:

On WSL you need a bat script to execute crystal via bash.exe, please see wiki: https://github.com/crystal-lang-tools/vscode-crystal-lang/wiki/Settings#bashonwindows

I just installed Crystal from the Linux tarballs... I will install and let you know if it all worked.

Hi @98-f355-f1 Thank you for using Crystal, this extension is still a big work in progress 😉

I'll check it out. I can use Crystal perfectly well with Debian bash and VSC, it's just those pesky error messages in code that is a nuisance, and have been playing around a bit. I was able to convert some number crunching functions from Ruby to Crystal with a little effort... as I was learning about the strict type system. Since I needed a big number, I found the BigInt type... works great, but a little bit tedious to declare and instantiate every single variable that the algorithm touches as to not get a TypeError.

I am going to do my own benchmarking against MRI, JRuby, straight C and Crystal.. from what I've seen from others I'd expect C to win by a nose over Crystal, but handily beat MRI and JRuby. I will also start figuring out how to benchmarking on C ext. in MRI vs. Crystal out of the box, and Crystal with C ext. Should be fun.

How do I become a contributor to your code base? I am a newcomer, but learning fast. I have some personal algorithms that I added to my own Ruby SecureRandom code base, so I can crunch Bitcoin hashes, and generate keys... perhaps, I could refactor them and submit, and you guys can decide to put them in and use them?

I haven't poked around enough through all of the files to see what you have or don't have against MRI Ruby, but I'd like to help if I can.

Thanks again

BTW, is this the compiler???

I copied the whole path from my windows C: all the way into the Debian WSL file system and ends at the "user path" \src\compiler\crystal\crystal.cr ....
Or is it in the next folder of crystal at ...\crystal\ where this is compiler_path.cr, compiler.cr ??
