How is Ruby an obscure language...?
Their developers are already proficient in Ruby. Crystal is a very, very close cousin of Ruby, syntactically and structurally. This isn't like jumping from Java to Haskell.
- MaxBarraclough 8y agoI didn't know it was that similar. Neat idea for a language. The 'Boo' language does the same for Python.
- AsyncAwait 8y agoI'd say Nim is for Python what Crystal is for Ruby.
- MaxBarraclough 8y agoOn closer inspection I agree - hadn't realised Boo uses the Common Language Infrastructure.
