Looks cool, in a similar vein as Zig or NIM it seems?
A few questions:
Out of curiosity, is there a company behind Crystal? or is it a BDFL situation? The press on Crystal has been pretty significant lately which is great. I ask mostly out of historical interest. IIRC Rust/Go seem to had company backing while gaining traction but Python/Ruby were more organic BDFL led projects. Naturally C/Java/C# were literal company products.
While the Ruby-like syntax is not to my taste (prefer Python) it got me thinking about what are the big syntax families?
Off the top of my head I count: Lisp, C, Python, Ruby, Prolog, ML, APL? Preemptively apologizing for only knowing the popularizers over the originals.
