Crystal Programming Language

This is the documentation for the Crystal programming language.

Crystal is a programming language with the following goals:

  • Have a syntax similar to Ruby (but compatibility with it is not a goal).
  • Be statically type-checked, but without having to specify the type of variables or method arguments.
  • Be able to call C code by writing bindings to it in Crystal.
  • Have compile-time evaluation and generation of code, to avoid boilerplate code.
  • Compile to efficient native code.

Contributing to the Language Reference

Building and Serving Locally

$ git clone https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal-book.git
$ cd crystal-book
$ npm install -g [email protected]
$ npm install
$ gitbook serve
Live reload server started on port: 35729
Press CTRL+C to quit ...

info: 8 plugins are installed
info: loading plugin "ga"... OK
...
Starting server ...
Serving book on http://localhost:4000

Html output will be in _book folder (some links won't work if opening the files locally). There is also a docker environment to avoid installing dependencies globally:

$ docker-compose up
...
gitbook_1  | Starting server ...
gitbook_1  | Serving book on http://localhost:4000
gitbook_1  | Restart after change in file node_modules/.bin
...

Adding a page

To add a page, create a markdown file in the desired location. Example: overview/hello_world.md. Then, add a link in the SUMMARY.md file which acts as the navigation for the documentation.
