I noticed at the bottom that they're sponsored by Nikola Motor Corp... surprising!

  Yes (and they still are). They wrote a blog post on using Crystal a year ago as well. [0] https://manas.tech/blog/2020/02/11/nikola-motor-company/ https://manas.tech/blog/2020/02/11/nikola-motor-company/

    Was Crystal the power behind Trevor Milton's famed "HTML5 supercomputers", then? Crystal looks nice, faster, more beautiful and ergonomic than Go, but I don't see its application for embedded use-cases, which is where I would think Nikola would target any special sauce, if it has any.

      I think they used it for UI work. Crystal has super simple binding to C.
