A new year resolution to have Crystal reach the 1.0 milestone in 2017

Is this the same with Crystal, as shown in Ruby:

  irb(main):001:0> "".methods.size
  => 170

  irb(main):002:0> 0.methods.size
  => 133

If it is, I mean, I don't see it being so fast.

What on earth has the size of the list of methods to do with performance?

The number of methods in the standard library really doesn't impact performance in a compiled language since you can tree shake the stuff that isn't used. And even if you don't tree shake having lots of methods isn't really a noticable performance loss in compile to binary languages since you don't need to spin up a VM
