I think Crystal is going more for the space of Go. Compiled language that is performant without manually dealing with memory or the borrow checker. As someone who is disappointed with Go, I would love for a language (Nim or Crystal seem best positioned) to fill this niche.
- valenterry 5y agoHow about Haskell or Scala?
- regularfry 5y agoThe type system looks very simplistic compared to either.
- valenterry 5y agoI thought Crystal's typesystem is actually rather sophisticated, especially compared to Go. Maybe not as advanced as Scala/Haskell but not too far.
