I started my little company on it about 18 months ago. It's a single server running the main app and processing 7 figures of revenue.
My biggest gripes would be major API changes (like the JSON mapping), but that's expected with a young language and better in the long run.
Another problem is compilation time and compilation memory. waiting a couple of seconds every time i make a change during development sucks, but not a big deal. I've had my deployment server fail deployment a couple times because it ran out of memory when compiling.
A solution to compilation times is to split up your app when it gets huge, so that you have smaller apps to compile.
I don't use many external dependencies, not even for the http server. The stdlib is very good. I would probably be using OCaml instead if the stdlib were as modern and clean as Crystal.
- jiofih 6y agoCan you share the project?
- devmunchies 6y agohttps://cravecookie.com https://cravecookie.com Most of the code is on the admin side. I've basically been building something akin to shopify but for managing local orders and delivery logistics.
- verisimilidude 6y agoFor what it's worth, I love the visual design of your site. It's stylish, distinct, straight-forward, and communicates purpose/process well.
- superdisk 6y agoThe site looks cool. Pardon me if I sound doubtful, but I just wanted to clarify that you're making 7 figures from this? If so then my hat is off to you.
- devmunchies 6y agoyeah, that's what stripe says :). We deliver a lot of cookies! I used to have our revenue public on IndieHackers but took it down after we hit $200k/mo.
