Crystal has been very nice on a project at work. Ruby-like syntax but statically typed, compiled language so a lot of the things that bites ruby programmers don’t even come up.
It’s what I was hoping Go to be, it feels clean. It beats Go in lots of benchmarks, loses in others.
- bb1234 7y agoI would second this. I moved from Go to Crystal. Crystal has been great to work with. Due to a rich standard library, the absence or fewness of third-party libraries may not be much of a problem, especially if you are looking for developing web applications and command line tools (two areas where I have used it). It also has a very friendly and helpful community.
