IIRC, I read somewhere, several months ago ago, that its type inference made it slow to compile anything but small programs?

- felipeccastro 2y agoYes, I believe so because it uses global type inference. I would gladly add explicit types everywhere instead of this to use Crystal if it had decent tooling, because everything else about the language is really perfect.
- renewedrebecca 2y ago> I would gladly add explicit types everywhere instead of this to use Crystal Agreed. Good IDE support can easily add explicit types too.
- vram22 2y agoIntriguing. You really didn't find any issues with it? Anything that you thought should / not be there, or some non-trivial bug?
- felipeccastro 2y agoThe language and stdlib feel like a more polished Ruby, though I haven't explored it in deep. The tooling, last I checked, is what's behind - the interpreter didn't work for simple apps, and the LSP is slow and full of bugs.
