Im not sure if Crystal had hit it's 1.0 release by the time they selected ruby for this project, other than a ruby-like repl, it seems like it hits all the mark

- nobleach 4y agoI've said this before (and been downvoted for it). Crystal is such a phenomenal language in that it brings a HEAVY spirit of Ruby (some Ruby stuff even runs unmodified) yet has wonderful type-safety. It's also compiled and relatively fast. It seems like such a win/win.
- willlll 4y agoWe use Crystal a lot too at Crunchy Bridge. It is used for all of the on-instance programs, the per-region monitoring service, as well as the customer CLI. I'm a big fan of Crystal, and wrote the postgres driver for the language :) However a main reason we used Ruby was for the production REPL which lets us manage our entire server fleet with like 1/3 of the staff we'd need otherwise.
- kureikain 4y agothank willl. When I investigate in Crystal I found your github and your Posgres driver.
- rafBM 4y agoAmen to that. We reached $2M ARR as 3 engineers at Missive [1]. As the CTO, I can tell life wouldn’t quite be the same without the ability to save the day in the production console at the speed of light. [1] https://missiveapp.com/ https://missiveapp.com/
- theonething 4y ago> production REPL which lets us manage our entire server fleet with like 1/3 of the staff I'm intrigued. Are you talking about the `rails console` REPL? How did that allow you to manage your fleet with 1/3 staff?
