- erelde 10y agoIts similarity with Ruby? It doesn't _feel_ like I would have to learn completely new paradigms
- wmoxam 10y agoIt's somewhat similar, but in Crystal you need to be explicit with types, and you'll likely miss 'send'. Also Crystal has macros
- pjmlp 10y agoIt is Ruby done right if community would have bothered with performance.
- flukus 10y agoI don't think it's really trying to compete with C, it's a much higher level language, just one that happens to be fast as well.
