For playing around @NixOS/crystal-lang

Also, trying to compile this with 0.34 fails because of changes to the doc generator... we probably have to write the buildPhase manually now to make it compile Crystal first and then use the compiled version to generate the docs.

How about just building it with the binary 0.35?

FYI, 0.35.1 is out (and shards 0.11.1)

I encountered this issue but decided to patch the makefile to mark the requirement to build the docs:

          # Add dependency of crystal to docs to avoid issue on flag changes between releases
          # https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/pull/8792#issuecomment-614004782
          substituteInPlace Makefile \
            --replace 'docs: ## Generate standard library documentation' 'docs: crystal ## Generate standard library documentation'

This should be closed as #103987 was merged.
