Wow. That's impressive.
Crystal is a solid alternative to Go. I gave it a solid look when figuring out which language I should learn. The only reason Crystal didn't make it is because it's just missing some core features. The one that sticks out is there is no way to get the length of a channel last time I looked.
But this is impressive and I can't wait to see what's next

- todotask 7y agoI have the same feeling as yours. I wish Crystal web server could be customisable, and lack of gRPC, HTTP/2 (only separate repo) and QUIC going to take more time to implement.
- Thaxll 7y agoIt's missing many things that make it a viable language: - libraries - community - support The language itself is not even finish or properly tested.
- todotask 7y agoI can only see 1,209 repos after using Crystal for close to a year, some are no longer maintained. https://github.com/topics/crystal https://github.com/topics/crystal There are lacking of stories around the cloud computing or any large businesses has success with Crystal. They need more of those to gain support if they don’t want to remain in “uncharted territory” which mentioned in their interview.
- kimburgess 7y agohttps://crystalshards.xyz/ https://crystalshards.xyz/ is the de facto aggregator of various libs for the language.
- todotask 7y agoI’m aware of this nice site, but I think you are aware Kemal threw an unfriendly message error when you reach to the last page? 100’s shards on each page is rather slow and limited options to search, I would prefer to stick to Github or self-host with Github API that supported some language. https://crystalshards.xyz/?&sort=updated&page=11 https://crystalshards.xyz/?&sort=updated&page=11
