net/http library

[ndbroadbent]

Do you have any plans for including a net/http library?

Would love to see something much easier to use than Ruby's net/http, maybe something inspired by HTTParty.

Thanks for the excitement! Followers of the project like you are pushing us to work harder :-)

Crystal is currently in early stages. We're trying to complete an efficient type inference algorithm before going any further because that will have strong implications in how the language looks and behave.

There are still however many other basic features missing before this can be considered a language to be used on real projects, like garbage collection and multithreading.

I really hope we can be soon discussing how the http and other core libraries will look like. We'll definitely listen to suggestions. Please stay tuned!!

any traction on implementing this library?

Sure, have a look at HTTP::Client.
