When it comes to "Ruby-like and statically typed", Crystal is such an amazing language. I think the design is incredible, but every time I try to use it, I just hit so many issues and things that slow me down. I think it's such a cool language, but every time I try to use it I just end up switching back to Ruby.

- smuffinator 1y agoI love Crystal. It's what I wish Ruby was. If only the tooling was a bit better
- eterps 1y agoCrystal could have been big if it worked really well in combination with Ruby out of the box (f.i. as an extension language).
- Lio 1y agoShout out to the crystalruby[1] project. I’ve not used crystal much myself but I love how easy it is to switch between the two. 1. https://github.com/wouterken/crystalruby https://github.com/wouterken/crystalruby
