Crystal is indeed a very nice language, but the only thing that is holding me from using it greatly, is that it still uses the Boehm GC, which makes it hard to compete with other languages in a production setting.
I understand we might get there one day but I'm afraid this is taking far too long.

Ideally, it would be extracted from that language and examples given how to integrate it with the likes of LLVM (it's not compatible OOTB with LLVM's API because of different synchronization primitives). https://www.ponylang.io/media/papers/orca_gc_and_type_system_co-design_for_actor_languages.pdf https://www.ponylang.io/media/papers/orca_gc_and_type_system...
