I know you’re (effectively) trolling here, but there are many reasons to “actually” use it. The community is great and helpful (check out the Gitter activity if you have any question about that). Lack of Windows support (for now) doesn’t matter if....you don’t use Windows. Multi-threading is being worked on.
You’re rehashing the same 2 things many folks point out that Crystal is missing in its pre-1.0 state and while they’re obviously important for widespread adoption, they’re not reason in and of themselves to dismiss a language that’s otherwise super interesting to many.
- Thaxll 8y agoI'm actually not trolling, I'm 100% serious, there is no reason to use that language right now when you have others languages that are better on every aspect. Maybe Crystal will be ready at some point but right now it's not.
- RX14 8y agoI don't think any language feels as close as crystal does to dynamic languages while being completely type safe with strong types. I think thats why so many people choose to use it so early. It truly doesn't feel like any other language out there.
