From Ruby to ES6 or Elixir or Crystal or Golang or even maybe Rust? We need comparison of the target languages among themselves.

For example Crystal vs. Elixir.

Does Crystal have A framework like Phoenix or Rails?

Currently crystal doesn't have a large "standard" framework like Elixir or Ruby. There's Kemal, which is what most people use to create web applications in Crystal, however its quite small in scope compared to the previous two mentioned frameworks.

I'm sure large, opinionated frameworks will appear for Crystal but in the meanwhile Crystal and its community are just finding their feet and experimenting with what feels natural in Crystal and what doesn't. Once that's done, I'm sure that knowledge can be crystallized (heh) into a framework like Rails.
