As another person mentioned, the main thing keeping me from Crystal is proper editor support, and more specifically proper debugger support.
I really like the experience working in python in pycharm, mainly for the integrated debugger.
It would be great to see an open source editor for Crystal with proper Debugger support and code reference lookup.
- ejstembler 7y agoThough I have a long history with IDEs I feel just as comfortable with the console, or the lighter-weight, electron-based IDEs. For the last couple of years I've lived pretty much exclusive in the Ruby/RubyMine, Python/PyCharm, Scala/IntelliJ worlds. However, I recently finished a medium-sized Crystral project only using VSCode. For debugging, I wrote unit tests and kept Sentry running. The compiler pretty much catches everything else. The combination worked out very well.
