Reminder that this is a great little article about eventually consistent workflows. I first read (and forgot) it years ago but I had to go through my own year-long journey for it to really sink in. So obvious, in retrospect. https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/ramblings/18_starbucks.html

CrystalLanguageWhoop, whoop: We have a shiny new release!
Crystal 1.17.0 is out now!
It brings better, manual memory management for libxml2, as well as several improvements to execution contexts and Windows support.
And there's a new compiler tool that reports coverage of macros.
For more details, check the release notes: https://crystal-lang.org/2025/07/16/1.17.0-released/
A better Ruby + Datastar demo. A simple Rack app that simulates a long-running task and streams updates to the browser. It showcases patching HTML elements and driving web components from the server via signal updates. https://github.com/starfederation/datastar-ruby/blob/main/examples/progress/progress.ru

Datastar v1 RC1 is officially out (with Ruby SDK by your truly). A simpler way to build and think about server-driven reactive apps for any backend https://data-star.dev
