I had very similar problems with Crystal early on; I remember having to write my own S3 library, which meant having to write the signing, which meant having to patch the core OpenSSL lib to add the correct SHA. At that point, I realized it was "early". Things change though, excited to see where you end up Paul - not Rust?

Did you end up using Crystal in production?

  We do, but only for a few smaller services. It's great, but most of the things we do aren't CPU bound, so we use Ruby. Personally, it's become my default for side projects.

  Not OP but I've used Crystal in production at 3 companies: Qualtrics, InVision, and my own side-company (~40 employees) which I briefly mention in this podcast[0] from a few months ago. Been using Crystal for about 5 years. [0]: https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/166-sam-eaton-of-crave-cookie https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/166-sam-eaton-of-crave-...
