Crystal Lang: Releasing Execution Contextshttps://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1w1bjk0/crystal_lang_releasing_execution_contexts

About a month ago, Crystal 's multi-threading moved out of preview. I'm a little late with the blog post, but figured I'd share it here in case someone is interested in the language.

I'm sure my question has been asked before, but it's my impression that the security landscape is constantly evolving and changing so I hesitate to rely on answers from even a couple years ago. Is that dumb? Do the basics stay relatively unchanged even as the more…
