Thanks for releasing so many great open source projects! On your website, you mention you use Crystal for programming on the server. What made you choose Cryst

• kbr 9y ago
  Thanks for asking! I prefer Crystal because it's a really expressive language (similar to Ruby) but has the advantage of being compiled (like C). I prefer compiled languages for the server because they are usually faster, and can be deployed with a single binary.

    I also prefer compiled languages and the simplicity of a single binary for server-side programming. I really wish fast, compiled, low-memory languages were more widely used on the server. Crystal sounds very promising in this regard :-)
