This looks awesome! Great idea and UI.
prydt··on Octox: Unix-like OS in Rust inspired by xv6-riscv
Awesome! What are some good resources on making a simple UNIX like operating system? I know osdev wiki exists, anything else?
prydt··on The Secrets of 'Magnetic Rose'
Stink bomb was honestly my 2nd favorite out of that collection (after magnetic rose). I think it was beautifully animated as well as just being really funny.
prydt··on Crystal 1.2.0
Crystal is definitely one of my favorite compiled languages. It feels like a happy medium between a dynamic language like Python and something fast but rigid like C++. The only real downside I can see is that the ecosystem is very small and the language is not as popular.
prydt··on Why did we ever think a student's first programming language didn't matter?
Thanks, this is a great read.

Where can one find those hash table theorists? (Just curious, that sounds really interesting actually)
prydt··on Anime is booming, so why are animators living in poverty?
If I recall correctly, Bakuman is a manga / anime about aspiring manga artists and this post is instead about animators who animate the anime.

This look amazing!
prydt··on Crystal 0.25
I really like Crystal, and while it hasn't reached a 1.0 yet, it is still great and used in production. I think the main selling point of Crystal is performance + nice syntax. The docs are great and will help anyone curious to learn Crystal along the way. Crystal's biggest problem is that it doesn't have the support of a company or a large base of users so the core team isn't funded as much as they'd like. All in all, I think it is a great language!
