It's still in the 0th major version, such changes are expected until 1.0. I indeed wouldn't recommend using Crystal for anything serious until the language stabilizes. I think this is a good strategy if you want to end up with a g

I'm feeling like I'm missing something, but why not? 2^64 is the number of cards in the deck, but that's not the number of cards we're picking . That might be just 10.
