Honestly Nim is more mature, has more features, compiles quicker and is equally easy. Crystal has nice syntax but otherwise is lacking features.

- rich_sasha 5y agoOn top of my to-do pile for a long time. IIUC Nim also compiles to ISO-compliant C, so you can distribute it more easily (?).
- config_yml 5y agoWhat features are lacking in your opinion?
- Mikeb85 5y agoWindows support (plus more compile options in general), different GC options, more options for parallelism, more libs (both standard + user), etc... Not necessarily 'lacking' if Nim didn't exist, but lacking in comparison. And for a bleeding edge GC'd statically-typed language that compiles using LLVM I think Pony is more interesting than Crystal, also Ruby-ish syntax.
