That is changing, earlier this year, the Crystal team are working on getting the language stable for 1.0 [0]
Companies are already now using Crystal in production, most recently Nikola Motor Company [1].
Surely they wouldn't choose crystal if it was a 'half baked' language.

- Thaxll 6y agoYou will always find someone somewhere picking up a language / framework and thinking it's production ready, from my experience Crystal is not ready and in the example you gave there is absolutly no reason to no use Rust. They needed C binding, and the fact that they started using Crystal years ago when the state was even worse is very worrisom.
