100%; the interpreter is the main missing thing right now, otherwise crystal is my go-to today; I use crystal and ruby a lot, and even on an M1 Max it's still ~1-2s of waiting for a compile, vs ruby with near-instant feedback.

What sort of programs do you use crystal for?

  A mix, but mostly web-app backends, or data processing when the quantities are large (aka annoying enough ruby is noticably slow; 100k json files, or millions of rows).
