Talks
The crystal language, an ode to ruby, by Timothee Clain and Nicholas Gelinas
The crystal language is a statically-typed, compiled, and ruby-like language with terrific performance.
While still young, it could be the next ruby with enough love and interest, capitalizing on the fact that its learning curve is quasi null for any decent rubyist.
This talks will outline the current state of the language, its advantages, drawbacks and perspective.

Talks
Background jobs at scale, by Kerstin Puschke
Slow requests to third party payment gateways or sudden spikes in image uploads make background jobs crucial to scaling applications. However, they require us to think differently about failure scenarios: we give up consistency guarantees, and we can’t be certain if or when a job will succeed. In this talk, you’ll learn how to get the started with background jobs, master the challenges they're posing, and how they are used at Shopify to scale one of the largest running Rails applications.
About Kerstin Puschke
ShopifyKerstin is a software developer at Shopify’s HQ in Ottawa. She’s exhilarated to transform Shopify’s massive Rails code base into a more modular monolith, building on her prior experience with distributed microservices architectures. Before moving to Canada, she helped organize the Hamburg Ruby user group and her local Rails Girls chapter.

Code night
Organizing regular meetups is a huge commitment and is very time consuming. I am so grateful to the people who prepares a talk for other passioned rubyists. I wasn't able to find a speaker with a talk ready that is available this month, so we will do a code night.
Bring your laptop and we'll do some challenges together. Professionnals and hobbyists of all levels are welcome.
Please note that I've made the decision to not replace a regular meetup by a code night in the future. Finding a speaker is the hardest part of the job so I prefer to keep my energy finding great talks and organize quality events. A meetup will officially be scheduled once the talk is confirmed.
