I've been following Crystal for long time (Shameless plug I've been running a geo-location service in production for years now https://gitlab.com/maxpert/crlocator https://gitlab.com/maxpert/crlocator and it works flawlessly). Despite the setbacks in past Crystal has continued to evolve and I am waiting for fully baked version 1. I am not surprised that Crystal can pull of something like running a complete operating system. Modern language landscape is getting populated and brings novel ideas (Rust, Zig, Golang, Julia); and Ruby's nice syntax with efficiency of compiled language IMOH still remains desirable for a lot of us.
