crystal 0.36.1

[bcardiff]

There is a new patch release for Crystal.
It supports llvm@11.

Support for M1 should be on the way, but is not included just yet. Ref: crystal-lang/crystal#10348 cc: @carlocab

Nice. I was thinking about the bdw-gc resource -- you use a patched version of this, but this patch has already been accepted upstream.

Would crystal be able to depend on the bdw-gc formula, if the patch were applied to the formula?

Yes. But although that would leave the generated binaries by crystal with a dependency to that library instead of statically linking it as today. That could be an issue in linux since is one more library to track on deployment of the binary. Although is the same story as any other library. But yes, it should work.

That's what brew is here to manage though.

Sure @SMillerDev but as long as the distributed binary is still published in brew. So, unless I am missing something, it will be harder to share locally built binaries because of non static dependencies. But again, it should work, and for development cycles there should be no difference.
