Yes, Crystal is pretty cool. Though I have found that it is hard to compile for different platforms. If you need speed and concurrency, giving jruby a shot is worth a try. It speeds up your code through both being fast and having 'real' concurrency.
- thekingofh 7y agoWhat do you think of the reliance on the JVM? I've tended to shy away from using it.
- capableweb 7y agoJVM can be kinda neat if you're doing server deployments and might use different languages like Kotlin, Java, Clojure and jRuby, as the deployments are mostly the same and same inspection tools can be used for the runtime. However, doing CLIs or binaries for whatever reason, then it wouldn't be so neat. Ruby wouldn't either, but GraalVM might be able to provide something good for it in the future as well.
