Crystal: Syntax inspired by Ruby, static types and compiled by LLVM. The standard library is mostly similar to Ruby (I'd say it's better. For example it rack-like functionality and websockets built-in). It's getting a lot of traction in the community.
- atrudeau 10y agoCrystal looks interesting, but is it usable in production? Any examples of people using it?
- shritesh 10y agoSidekiq was recently ported over to crystal and the speedups and memory usage improvements are amazing. There's also an officially supported heroku-buildpack so it can be deployed easily. But there's a lot of breaking changes in the language (0.18 was released a few days ago with a few breaking changes). I would not use it for a long term project (yet). But for some personal project or prototypes, for example which you'd quickly set using Ruby/Sinatra, I'd choose Crystal/Kemal.
